I have typed on an iOS keyboard for over a decade and never considered the keyboard to be bad at all. To type a . I hit the space bar twice, or I click the 123 with me left thumb and then they period or symbol I need… never randomly typing periods

I work 4x12hr shifts and rotate days and nights week to week, sleeping ~9pm-5am one week, and ~7am-3pm the filling week- so I have tried various things to ensure I get decent sleep.

The one thing that hands down affected my sleep in the most positive way is to avoid screen time for 2-3hrs before bed. If I need to be up at 5 and my goal is to get to sleep at 9, then my phone is going onto the charger at 6:30pm and not being picked up unless it’s an emergency! Same goes for tv- I used to watch tv before bed and found I couldn’t sleep well. I now read in bed and it not only doesn’t keep me up like tv watching did, but I actually makes me drowsy and I fall asleep easier. It’s hard to not give in and be watching tv while on my phone… but I realized how much better all aspects of my life are if I sleep well, and it’s a sacrifice that has to be made. Plus, I can use my phone whenever I want at any other time during the day so it’s not actually that big of a sacrifice.

Secondary things to that- avoiding caffeine after 12, having a dedicated wind down period before bed, making my bed when I wake up so it’s all ready for me at bedtime, keeping my room around 20C when it’s time to sleep, using a white noise machine, having a shower before bed, using a diffuser with a ‘sleep blend’ of oils in my bedroom, blackout curtains, and avoiding alcohol on work nights.

It is a very simple device, assuming they actually have the use for it.

One thing to keep in mind- just because you’re a tech-minded person doesn’t mean everyone else is or wants to be. Giving a tach gift that someone really has no use for and doesn’t want to learn how to use just puts them in an awkward position where they feel almost obligated to use it even though it provides no benefit to their life. Perhaps a framed family photo would bring them more joy😂

The ability to make stickers from basically any photo, and then use them in iMessage

The Caudabe Sheath is the best iPhone case you can get.

I’ve tried so, so many. This one is not just a little better but many times better than any other case I have ever used, and will clean up and look brand new for a very, very long time
