PLUS: Sleepmaxxing’s final boss—sleep trackers.
As autumn drags on and the days grow shorter, getting up in the morning can be especially hard. If you rarely feel rested when your alarm goes off or are a chronic snooze-button presser like me, a sunrise alarm clock can help you wake more mindfully and support a healthier circadian rhythm.
Your body is designed to wake naturally with the sunrise and feel sleepy as the sun sets. A sunrise alarm clock mimics this shift from morning to bright daylight, signaling to your body that it’s time to wake up, rather than the beeps and harsh, unnatural tones of a traditional alarm clock.
A sunrise alarm clock might be the only tech you need on your bedside table—they also work as a sound machine, help you wake up and fall asleep, and can even function as a regular bedside lamp if they’re bright enough. If you want to face cold, dark mornings more gently and naturally, a sunrise alarm clock might just improve your mood this winter.
