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.
