Relax and Zone out with Your Trippy New Lava Lamp

Lava lamps may seem like a must-have item for dorm rooms and those who like to partake in ‘funny’ cigarettes, but they’re much more than a kitschy throwback to the 1970s. They are that as well, but lava lamps are also a great way to create a calm and relaxing environment for sleeping and working. Plus, they look really cool, man.

Different lights can have a significant impact on our feelings and ability to relax or become energized. Blue light helps with feeling alert and is excellent to use when we need to work, read, or learn. Warm light is best for reading for relaxation and when it’s time to quiet our minds and get ready for bed. If you’re looking for a light to use at nighttime, red light provides comfort and a feeling of safety, making it a great addition to an adult or child’s bedroom.

The lava lamps we’ve included on our list all feature different colors that can help with energizing and relaxing, but the rest is up to you. Don’t harsh your lava lamps’ buzz.
