Next weekend we change our clocks back and get an extra hour of sleep. As nice as that is, it can mess with even the soundest sleeper. It’s also the beginning of the National Sleep Foundation’s Sleep Awareness Week. If you want a gentler way to greet the day than with an alarm that, well, sounds like an alarm, meet a kinder, quieter way to get out of bed: The Jall Wake Up Light Sunrise Alarm Clock. You can add it to your nightstand for just $32.
Want to wake up to birds chirping? Your favorite radio station? This sunrise clock has you covered.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
This must-have typically retails for $39, which is already affordable. It’s similar to pricier models on the market, including the Philips Wake-up Light ($109), and it’s equipped with tons of features: a sunrise simulation, dual alarms, snooze options, an FM radio, seven gentle alarm sounds and more.
Why do I need this? 🧐
Say goodbye to unsettling alarms and rough wake-up calls. The gentle sunrise simulation is by far the most popular benefit of this top-rated alarm. Here’s how it works: The light gradually increases from 10% brightness to 100% within 30 minutes of the alarm time. You can choose from seven sounds too. And if 30 minutes is too long (or short), you can adjust the duration.
Want to wake up to cheerful birds chirping? This clock has you covered. There’s something for everyone, including soft music, piano melodies, sea waves and wind chimes. You can also set the alarm to play your favorite radio station to get into the groove first thing in the morning.
The clock also doubles as a bedside lamp. Use it to read or for help when you need to get out of bed in the middle of the night. Just hit the mood light button, and adjust it to a softer or brighter hue as needed.
What reviewers say 💬
Shoppers rave about this alarm clock, which has earned more than 18,000 five-star ratings on Amazon.
Pros 👍
“I have to say, it’s been a delightful addition to my mornings,” one five-star reviewer said. “Setting it up was a breeze, and as a heavy sleeper, it wakes me up with ease.”
“I LOVE this sunrise alarm clock!” another happy customer exclaimed. “I was comparing this one to others that are more expensive. Bought and then originally returned this one thinking I’d like the Swarmir Smart Light Noise Machine that has a phone app and more color features. I immediately regretted returning this one … While the other color options for ambiance and the phone app are awesome, there are several things I like WAY more about the Jall and I bought this one again.”
Cons 👎
One fan shared: “I have had this for a year or two now. It has been helpful. I use it for the morning sunrise effect. A little extra light helps wake me up … I would prefer more tunes for the alarm, but again, I’ve had it for a year or two so I’ve had it a long time and so I’ve used all the tunes.”
Another shopper wrote: “The only downside is I wished they had better alarm sounds to this but overall good alarm clock and a lot cheaper and works the same as the more high-end ones.”
This alarm clock doesn’t skimp on features and rivals other pricey picks.
