A light clock, or wake-up light, mimics a sunrise to wake you up gradually with increasing light and sound. Light clocks have many benefits, but if you're sensitive to light, you might wake up earlier than planned. They can play the sounds of nature or chirping birds instead of a typical alarm sound. For music lovers, we suggest a clock radio.
If you struggle to wake up, special alarm clocks emit an extra loud sound and vibration via a puck under the pillow. Some have flying or rolling parts that only stop when you catch them. Many also have the option of setting two alarms at the same time, which is perfect for snoozers.
