To buy: $80 (was $100); amazon.com. The clock’s sleek, spherical design diffuses the light evenly throughout the room and looks beautiful resting on your nightstand, whether it’s in use or not. Plus, the gradual sunrise lamp doubles as a convenient bedside reading lamp–or even a nightlight for little ones, thanks to the 20 different light intensity options. You can awaken or drift off to tranquility with calming sounds such as chirping birds, soft piano melodies, and ocean waves crashing against one another. You can also program two different alarms: one for you and your partner, or one to work with your weekday and weekend schedules. One five-star reviewer who has used the device for over five years called the sunrise simulator an “important tool” for dealing with Seasonal Affective Disorder. Another shopper who previously struggled with their morning routine and claimed they were “not a morning person” raved about the lamp’s ability to wake them with “true peace and serenity” without leaving them feeling groggy.
