A blaring alarm may be effective, but it’s not a calm start to the day. For a more peaceful morning routine, consider one of the best sunrise alarm clocks. As the name implies, these devices wake you with gradually brightening light that simulates a sunrise. Some also use sound (think flowing streams, chirping birds, and lo-fi beats) to stir you to reality. So, if you find it hard to get out of bed—especially in the winter months when sunlight levels are low—these sunrise alarm clocks can make it a bit easier to get up.
