Waking up is hard, especially when the mornings get darker and colder. I’ve never been a morning person, but one device helped me get closer to becoming one: a sunrise alarm clock. About 10 years ago, I tried a sunrise alarm clock to light up my windowless bedroom. (new student life), I have since tried many other models to find the best and the brightest, literally, to help you wake up in the morning without feeling like the walking dead.
The downside is that these devices aren’t cheap, especially ones that actually contain all the features you might want. If that’s keeping you from getting your own Hatch or Philips sunrise alarm, good news . Cyber Monday is here to help. Many of the sunrise alarm clocks we offer are on sale right now, so there’s no better time to get one for yourself (or as a gift this holiday season.) Be sure to check out our Live Cyber Monday deal trackers for even bigger deals.

The adorable Wake-Up Light for WiiM is small but powerful. Not only does it have a huge library of sounds to wake up to or sleep in, and an easy-to-use app to create your routine, it can also display a rainbow of colors on its light: making it like a smart light bulb. The sounds it plays range from generic to random, from thunder to Insomnia Healing Music (a delicate piano piece).Even though this lamp is small, the reading mode was still bright enough for you to read.
Lumie’s sunrise watches are great. my favorite is the Lumie Luxe 700FM, but the Shine 300 is pretty similar and it’s on sale right now. bright enough to be a bedside lamp, a beautiful chic shape with a stylish fabric base and has both a sunrise and sunset option; Lumie watches only show military time, but you get used to it quickly, and it’s worth swapping out for these cool sunrise alarms.

Everyone asks me about the Hatch Restore 2 when they hear me testing sunrise alarms. It’s a cool, stylish little device, but I think it shines best as a sound machine because it’s not that bright. , to really make me wake up like other sunrise alarms do. It helps me sleep with its “Sleep” mode that you can set and great sounds as well as additional sounds if you subscribe. Hatch+ for $3 a month, so if you’re looking for a device to help you get more sleep than you need, this is a great choice.
This budget pick from our Best Sunrise Alarm Clock guide has the opposite problem than the Hatch. it doesn’t have a night mode, unlike all the other options we offer (and are on sale right now), so it’s best for people who just need something to help them wake up, and nothing else is budget-friendly, even before it goes on sale, and the cheapest you can find during Cyber Monday.

There’s no better time to buy the Loftie Lamp than now, since it’s such an expensive model, it’s a great choice for the design conscious. Nothing looks better than Loftie and the app is easy to use to set up your alarms Loftie Clock ($120, $40 off) sold separately (and also sold) and you’ll need it if you want to pair the beeper with your light bulb. There’s only a nine-minute brightening period (other bulbs will allow you to adjust it and usually start at 20 minutes), so my the trick is to adjust the light to end brightness 10 minutes before my alarm goes off.
