Overview
Sunrise alarm clocks simulate dawn by gradually increasing light before your alarm time. This triggers natural waking hormones and makes mornings less jarring.
Our take
Simple but effective, especially in winter. Waking to light instead of noise is genuinely more pleasant. Philips makes the best ones, but cheaper options work fine too.
