If, like us, you find getting up in the morning a Herculean struggle, we may have just found the answer. Before alarm clocks, it was your body's natural clock and the sun rising that awoke you.
That or the sound of a man in a loin cloth pointing a sharp stick at your head. In any case, the modern alarm clock doesn't mimic nature's way in any shape or form, jolting you from your slumber with a piercing caterwaul. Not the best way to wake up. Not by a long chalk.
That's why we decided to bring you the perfect fusion of old and new in the shape of the Rise and Shine Sunrise Alarm Clock. No ordinary alarm clock, this. No, the Rise and Shine has built in nature sounds and a light that gradually illuminates your room, copying the natural, gradual sunrise.
30 minutes before the time you set your alarm the clock glows and gradually brightens. Though you may still be asleep, the photons of light reaching your eyelids will begin to gently stir, resulting in the most soothing and natural wake up call you could ever experience!
Then, once it's time to get up out of bed (30 minutes after the sunrise starts), the clock either sounds an audio alarm or your choice of natural sounds like a dawn chorus, a babbling brook, or ocean waves.
Comparable Sunrise Alarm Clocks we tested normally retail at well over £50, and it's amazing how much more refreshed, calm, and full of energy our product testers felt after a couple of nights with this on their bedside table.
This Sunrise Alarm Clock has a temperature display, and can also be used to send you off to sleep with a simulated sunset combined with your choice of relaxing sounds. If you're looking to increase your sleep quality and boost your energy throughout the day this Sunrise Alarm Clock will certainly move you in the right direction.

This clock looks stylish in my room and I have to say that since I've been using the "natural light" system to wake up, I've been a lot more uplifted in the mornings too. Scott D, Newbury
I really like the ergonomic design and the dual waking system..Most of the time, the dawning light is enough to get me going but on those extra tough days, the noise alarm gives me the jolt I need. All in all, the perfect alarm clock. Albert D, Forres
Now I wake up to birds singing and a gradually lighted room. Great start to the day. Love it. Grace Mullinar - Barnes
I saw this and thought WOW, this is what I need to wake me up in the morning. I want it for christmas and I'm hoping that someone in my family has taken the hint. Other alarm clocks have nothing on this beauty!! Plus it is a bargain! Jenny Smith - Rugby
Felt compelled to write you an email about the amazing Sunrise Alarm Clock. Have had it 2 weeks now and I feel so much more energetic during the day. A friend of mine has a Phillips one that cost over £70. This is a total bargain. Thanks! Emma H - Woking
Wow, without doubt the best alarm I have ever used, the slowy brightening light and the gentle soothing nature sounds. Invest in this and you will be woken happily every morning, great. Lee Moule Hartland - Devon
