hOmeLabs Sunrise Alarm Clock - Digital LED Clock with 6 Colour Switch and FM Radio for Bedrooms - with Nature Sounds Sunset Simulation Touch Control - With Snooze Function

Product Information

I found that the Shine produced the most realistic sunrise effect, with the lights shifting gradually through red, yellow and then white. But if you like the convenience of programming your alarms via an intuitive app, setting multiple alarms during the week (including a very loud, very bright get-up-or-else one), customizing your sunrise themes, and using the clock as a calming tool for falling asleep, you may find the Philips SmartSleep HF3670 to be worth the extra cost. From there, she became Acting Features Editor at another Future site, LiveScience, where she helped to commission and edit health and fitness content. Set up your preferred sleep routine via app—light dims and brightens in 15-minute blocks—and if you need to pause the cycle for any reason, simply tap the button on top. Some double as mood lights and a sunset stimulation, where the light fades from full to zero to help you fall asleep.

To snooze an alarm, all you have to do is touch the clock anywhere—a convenience that’s unique to this model.Some of the sounds are frankly bizarre (bleating goats are an acquired taste at 6:30am) but there are lots of calmer options to choose from such as waves, thunderstorms, and blackbirds. It’s the least expensive alarm we’ve found that offers a realistic, red-tinted dawn and dusk simulation, which feels more natural and may work better than white light at helping you feel less groggy.

The features that make this clock stand out, though, is that it comes with Alexa voice control and a white noise machine to help soothe you to sleep. Updated October 2023: We've added the Lexon Mina and the WiiM Wake-Up Light, as well as updated pricing and availability.

Alarms can be pre-set for the week ahead and there are 14 natural sounds, a standard beep and also an FM radio. Last, but not least, is the nighttime routine function, an integrated timer that you can set to signal when it’s time to wind down and switch from one part of your evening relaxation routine, such as reading, to another, like meditation. The sizeable screen can be personalised with four brightness levels too, so it won’t keep you awake at night.
