20 Best Nature Sounds Alarm Clocks (2023 Updated)

I bought this when my LG gave out and I was waiting for a repair estimate. The laundry is not cheap either, so I thought I might as well put my money into something I get to keep. This puts very clean clothes! First load, accidentally brushed against water outlet hose and left the pool, dripping water all over the floor, causing concern about an electric shock.

No kidding when they say to keep children and pets away from it. Water out of the hose fast and powerful, so be careful. Secure the hose with perhaps a small band of Velcro, to something close, so do not go out and cause all kinds of misery.

Don’t oversoap (powder use), do not overload and stay close. I would describe the ability of this thing so small emergency loads. Perfect for a college student any time, you can keep a family looking for a little time, but not much more.

I put 2 large bath towels and a washclothes (which I used to clean the water on the floor) and I felt like pushing in terms of capacity. But they were wet and heavy. It was pretty easy to put together and very easy to level.

In short, a good quality product in terms of the wash basket and the available settings. The sides are plastic was not too concerned about, but is portable. It’s powerful and relatively quiet. Also perfect for washing delicate garments, separated, etc, while the machine is making great most demanding loads.

However, if it is to be used that way, it does take a little work to set it and drain it when finished. In all honesty, at some point, you will probably decide it’s too much work to do regularly when I have a working machine, and kept it until the next emergency.

But I’m definitely not going to return, either! I think also it can help keep the day with clothes, if you have a machine running long cycles.

It works perfectly for cooking vapor pants and shirts uniform. It is also ideal for removing chemical odor also. I bought this because my uniforms had a strong chemical smell to the reception. Only two options would be to let them ventilate naturally (that woukd have taken days) or steam them.

The smell was gone almost instantly then steam. There is no waiting period. What it was important because it had to be in full uniform the next day after I brought them home. I’ve used it for cooking to steam other things as well and is wonderful.

For people who say there is not enough time or not useful at home, which is absolutely, but not for the tough stuff. It is small and is not intended to address superheavy work. Get bigger one size steam regularly for that.

This is a mini steam travel size hand, intent only things “Update” for you.

This sound machine/alarm clock combo is a nice, compact size that can fit anywhere you place it. I got the white with blue colored LED display which makes it very clear and easy to see. There are 3 different brightness settings for the LED display but even on the dimmest, I felt it was still a little too bright to have right next to my bedside.

I may move it further away so that the light doesn’t affect my sleep. The alarm setting only has one sound, the generic beeping sound of most alarms. I wish there were other sound choices or even have the ability to wake up to the sounds on the sound machine setting.

Six different sound settings to help you fall asleep (ocean, thunder, rain, brown/white/pink noise), with volume control if you like the sound to be more subtle. Bluetooth feature worked great and set up overall for the clock was simple.

I found the speakers to be a little muffled especially with the sound machine setting but still able to hear. I would just make sure not to put too many items around the clock so not to further hinder the sound.

This is a plug in clock with battery back up capability.

My girls aged 12 and 9 share a room and I picked this clock for them. First, I love the size. It’s fits in my hand and is lightweight. The color and design are very sleek. The blue led is indeed bright.

I have it on the dimmest setting for them. They’re not bothered by the light at all because they enjoy night lights such as a salt lamp they keep on all night I cannot stand any type of light while sleeping so this is perfect for them.

The setup is clear and simple. The modes on top that are engraved can be tough tough to see. I might run a permanent marker over them if I get too frustrated. All the sounds are accurate and my favorite of course are the ocean thunder and rain sounds.

My girls always pick ocean and have the volume level at 2 out of 16. I wouldn’t suggest blasting the sound because the speaker is small. There is a sleep timer function that allows you to set the sleep sound for either 90, 60, or 30 minutes.

But be advised, you can’t dim the led if you have the timer on. We leave the sound all night and shut off in the morning. Also the clock can use batteries as well as plug in. No batteries were included but if you unplug you’ll have to set up the alarm and time once again.

Great features for an alarm clock and the design is beautiful. My girls love it.

I was blown away by all of the different settings and the adjustable volume for this alarm clock/sleep machine. I wasn’t even aware of “pink” or “brown” noise until I received this clock, and have been alternating between them.

The rain setting is so restful, and the ocean setting is so calming. I love how easy it is to turn the volume of the sound/sleep machine up or down so that you can have as much noise or as little noise as possible.

I found it easy to program the clock and alarm, but will probably not use the Bluetooth function. My only complaint is the brightness of the green light for the sound machine. It illuminates quite a bit of a dark room.

I solved this by placing something on top of the light at night, and this solved the problem. I really love the sound machine function, and don’t know how I’ve lived without it this long. The brightness of the light is not enough to change my 5 star review!.

I love my new clock! I am obsessed with everything retro so this little clock fits right in. This is really cute, seems very well made, and the sound is very good. The Bluetooth connection has worked seamlessly.

I wish it were larger. It is such an attractive little clock, it could be quite the statement piece if it were bigger. Regardless, this has nice sounds and has Bluetooth, I’m very happy with the purchase.

I purchased this originally for my son. It has a Bluetooth capability, it connects my android phone to this. I always play lullaby songs in his room every night with this clock. And it puts my kid to sleep peacefully while I am in the other room.

He is fascinated with the lights too. Very satisfied with this.

I thought this small alarm clock would be the typical and simple clock but no. I’ve purchased this last week and dang this clock can be a source of charge. I’ve been using this as my clock and to charge my phone, I just easily connect my charger cable into the USB port then it charges.

Can insert an aux cable too. Easy and so fun to use. Super like this!.

first of all, the mella clock looks very cute and child friendly. The control buttons are located at the bottom of the clock. There is also a lock button to prevent changes of the clock. I use from time to time and my kids still didnt figure the lock button out yet.

the feet of the clock are slightly rubbery in teal color. I utilize 2 modes – for night time routine & nap time routine. The settings for both modes are very easy. The manual is also very handy in the beginning.

There is an option to change how many minutes before wake-up time. While its a bed time, the face of the clock looks with closed eyes. When its time before make-up, the clock’s face (display) will turn into the face with winked eye and the light of the clock will turn yellow.

When its wake-up time, the clock will “wake up” too with wide opened eyes, smile and the clock’s light will turn green. I also love the night light which can be adjusted to different colors. However the night light will be on for some time to help a child to snooze and fall asleep.

the display also shows current time and the its brightness is moderate. overall, i am happy and satisfied to own this sleep training clock to teach my kids to wake up at a certain time.

I would recommend MELLA to any parent, because of the excellent features and functionality! Pros – Clock face is very clear and simple to understand. – The design is super cute. – It’s easy to program – Helps your child with their sleep routine.

– Nap Feature, works with just the alarm or with just the light on. – Night light, you’re able to choose the color. – Hidden button underneath the clock so your child can’t see them and a lock to keep them from messing with your settings.

– Sound Machine feature will stay on all night if you prefer. – This clock will grow with your child as they age. – The clock can be used as a quiet time for independent play time too. Cons – Sound machine is a little loud with no way to turn it down.

– No smartphone access. – Play Time mode possibly could let us change the minutes to less or more. – Would love it if I could have more customization to our individual needs, like resetting the time from my bed via my phone.

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this MELLA clock for your child. We have thoroughly enjoyed learning from it. Thank you!.

The Mella Ready to Rise Children’s Sleep Trainer. Alarm clock, night light and sound machine has been a fun addition to my daughter’s room. The clock had easy to follow instructions and was very easy to set up! All of the controls are found on the bottom of the clock! I like that they are on the bottom so my girls won’t just go up and push the buttons and change things.

You are able to control the time, alarm, sound, light, and place a nap time setting with the controls. I like that I’m able to set and alarm for them to wake up and also an alarm for them to go to bed.

I really like that the clock has little faces that change according to when it’s time to get up and sleep! The green face indicates it’s time to wake up and the blue face is for bed time. I also like that the clock can be used as a night light and a sound machine! It has helped my girls so much over the last couple of weeks.

It has helped them know when it’s time to get up and when they should stay in the bed. All in all I would recommend this clock especially if you are trying to sleep train.

If you’re shopping for an alarm clock in 2023, then the odds are that you either find your phone alarm ineffective or are looking to cut down on your screen time. You might also be comparing this projector model (the Sony ICF-C1PJ) to its far less expensive brother (the Sony ICF-C1) which runs about $24 at the time of writing and comes in black, without the ugly projector appendage on the side.

I initially purchased the cheaper, basic version but I was forced to return it because I found the volume didn’t blast high enough to rouse me out of a deep sleep. After digging around and comparing some obscure online reviews, it seemed that the PJ version might have significantly higher max volume (15-20 db).

After getting the PJ model, it does seem to be significantly louder—at least for the radio, I’m not entirely sure about the buzzer. Sony clearly thinks the selling point of the PJ model is the projector, but its really small improvements like this that differentiate it from the base model.

I’ve seen reviews complaining that the “back up battery” touted in the base model doesn’t actually mean that the alarm will go off in power outage, just that the clock will remember the time when AC power is restored.

This seems to have been improved in the PJ model, whose manual touts the “No Power, No Problem” system and says the alarm will go off even during an outage. The base model manual, read closely, does not make this guarantee.

The PJ model also adds a variety of nature sounds you can fall asleep to on a timer; the base model only has a sleep timer for the radio. Aside from these functional differences, the models are largely identical with a few aesthetic changes like buttons substituted for dials, and a more sleek and informative screen on the PJ model.

I would say the PJ is nicer looking, but I think the projector is ugly and useless. But if you really want to have this thing shine the time onto your ceiling or wall, it will do it. Personally, I think the projector was added just to try to differentiate this version from the base model and make it seem like an “upgraded” rather than “fixed” version.

That doesn’t mean the PJ isn’t the better model, however, and I’m fine with paying more to guarantee I will get woken up in the morning. I’ve had cheap alarm clocks, which I don’t trust, and a Lofti: an elegant but unreliable piece of garbage whose developers break it with their updates.

If all you really want in life is a clock that will you up reliably, I think the Sony PJ model is a solid choice. There are also some nice features and design touches shared between the PJ and base models.

Both are relatively compact, both have sleep timers for the radio, and the button to turn off the alarm is small and slightly recessed on both models, which makes it hard to groggily cancel the alarm and immediately fall asleep again.

The snooze button, by contrast, is large, prominent, and raised. The snooze also has a rather nifty feature: tap it once to snooze for 10 minutes, or keep tapping it to add 10 more minutes to the snooze with each tap.

The clock will show you how many minutes you are setting the snooze for. So if you really need to be up, you can hit it once for a 10 minute snooze; if you’re not on a tight schedule that morning, you can hit it three times and take a luxurious 30 minutes uninterrupted.

I’ve seen other reviewers complain about this feature, since it opens the possibility of groggily adding too much time to the snooze. Understandable, but I absolutely LOVE this feature. Having the flexibility to decide the length of your snooze on any given day is really nice, and the system is intuitive enough to use easily when you’re groggy.

Okay, that’s three words. Anyway, does anyone use clock radios now with the advent of smartphones? I suspect not. Full disclosure: I don’t even use the alarm feature on this, I use my smartphone, as I imagine most of us do.

But what I do use this for is hands-free time-telling from across the room, or at night, as well as occasionally listening to the radio. Before going to bed, I dim the display to it’s lowest setting and turn on the clock’s projection display.

Super-handy to have the time displayed on the ceiling or in your nightstand )without being blinded). Especially when you need to know whether it’s time to get up and get ready for work soon, or if you can go back to sleep without worry.

Looks great and doesn’t take up much ‘real estate’ on my nightstand either. In short, do you need this? No. But if you grew up having a clock radio like I did, this is a nice update / upgrade to the genre.

And it’s a Sony, so you know it’s decent quality. ‘Two thumbs up’!.

perfect alarm clock I like it! I had the earlier version of this for about 25 years (which was a little bit bigger and heavier) until it finally bit the dust, so I was pleased to see Sony had produced a newer version and with extra functions.

Open the box, plug it in and it finds the right time for you. Display is bright orange and easy to read. The instructions to set the alarm and radio are easy to follow and understand too. As I am now a pensioner and not working I haven’t as yet had reason to use the alarm function but it appears to be working fine and true to sony standards the radio is remarkably clear for something so cheap.

I have no need for the snooze timer or the variable brightness function but it has both if you need them. I will put it through its paces in the coming weeks but so far I’ve only had it 3 days before being asked to review it but so far I am more than happy with it.

I have no hesitation in recommending this as it has everything you could possibly want from an alarm clock and more!!!! 2 people found this helpful.

I got this for my daughter’s 10th birthday. She has a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep she usually gets up and stays up for an hour or two during the night. Last night she used it for the first time.

She fell asleep within 10 minutes stayed asleep all night!!! She loves the sound of the rain and the colors calm her down! And now She can set her own alarm and get up for school! She loves it!!.

Very few clocks allow more than one sound to wake up to- this clock has 5 nature sounds, yes you can turn off the light completely, and has 2 alarms, 1 to set sounds and 1 to set the light preferences.

You can set the brightness of the light, or set for gradual brightness. You can also fall asleep to the same nature sounds for a set time limit. Fully featured. Great alarm clock. Only one warning. The first clock face was shattered due to poor packaging and rough handling.

The second arrived. Ship to store in a larger manufacturer box. It was fine.

This alarm clock w/nature sounds has the most features of any other. It is also the only alarm clock I’ve found that allows you to set the light alarm and the sound alarm independently and at anytime! I set the light alarm when I want to wake and the sound alarm a few minutes later as a backup.

All other clocks automatically set off the light alarm 30 minutes before you want to wake and sound alarm 10 minutes before you want to wake, except the light alarm immediately awakes me and 30 minutes early.

And I’m never able to use the sound alarm. I am returning these clocks. This alarm clock also has a nap function and you can listen to nature sounds up to 90 minutes as you goto sleep. With the USB charging and Aux connector, this is the alarm clock w/nature sounds to buy!.

This alarm looks pretty but it is useless. The numbers are too bright even in the dimmed mode, they light the bedroom more than a night light. The us port can be used only for charging and it is so slow that is useless as well.

The external memory (for additional music) can be used only with a minijack. the clock goes too fast. In one month it has gained 15 minutes, 30 seconds day, it is not acceptablefrom a new alarm! I wish I could return this item but I waited too long and missed the 30 days window.

I even purchased a 2 years protection to this piece of. but I haven’t figured out how to claim it yet.

Not a cheap Alarm clock honestly this has to be the best I have ever owned! It has a modern style to it, the color lightings can be adjusted to brightness and of course color, the calming sounds are AMAZING and I love that it also shows the date on the clock!! As for the alarm function I love that it starts out soft and slowly gets louder! Just all around great value!!.

Initially purchased when it was $19 with no reviews about a year ago. I’m glad I did, it works really well. I got it for my newborn to put in his nursery as a night light and with the water sound to help him sleep.

The clock works great to keep track of feedings as well. Only flaw is if plugged in for long periods of time the clock dims and I have to unplug and re-plug to light it back up.

The supposed gradual light that starts 30 mins before your alarm is set is absolute nonsense, it just switches on full blast and jolts you awake. The alarm sounds are poor quality and whichever way you go to turn the alarm off in the morning you’ll end up with tipping the thing over and always switching the radio function on, which NEVER has a clear signal.

In short it’s an absolute piece of junk and I wish I’d never spent any money on it.

This is a god send My bedroom is pitch black and it’s so hard to wake up in the mornings This has just made it easier but in a nice way Not a harsh loud alarm clock way I would definitely recommend The colour changing light is great too Happy with everything about it Not tried the fm radio but not needed for me anyway All things have brightness adjust So the clock has off, bright or brighter, the light has dull to really bright 10/10.

Great little product, very good value for money. Features are working well. It’be even better if you could select the light color for the sunset and sunrise simulation. But all in all very pleased with this purchase!.

I love this alarm clock. I love seeing the time across the room, I love the ocean sounds and I love that it is compact. One small issue is that the buttons on the top are all flush. You have to either turn on a light or hope for the best if the button you want is not at the top or bottom by memory! Also, the lowest volume is a bit higher than I would prefer since it is right next to me on the nightstand when I use it to have white noise and sleep by.

One more thing I wish were different is that it had preset radio stations. I just hope that it lasts as long as the one I replaced with this one. So far, so good though! (It’s been about a week!).

This clock has a number of attractive features. It tells time with precision. The radio reception is incredibly good for a small alarm clock. The white noise sound choices are varied. The ceiling projection is actually useful and effective.

And the USB charging port is a nice bonus. That said, the quality of the product seems lacking and the numbers are very bright. Regarding the first, the volume switch on mine turns up but doesn’t turn down.

As a result, you better like your white noise and/or alarm loud. Regarding the second, the lumens on the numbers have to be nearly equivalent to that of a bright nightlight. The clock basically emits so much light that I can see everything in my room at night.

This is a great feature if you don’t like the dark, but not the best if you actually like a dark room to sleep in.

We have been using this alarm for a couple of weeks now and so far we are happy with it. We really like how the volume will gradually increase so it’s not such a shock when it goes off in the morning.

We thought the best feature would be the projection on the ceiling. With that being said there is a little drawback to that feature. The light is almost too bright especially if you are used to sleeping in a dark room.

Our power goes off frequently so the battery backup has already come up very useful. Overall this little machine is working out very well for us. With it being compact in size it saves so much counter space on our nitestand.

Love all the different noise settings!.

We received this a couple of weeks ago and began using it immediately. We really like the selection of night lights and ability to control the brightness. Similarly the sleep noise selection is very good and allows for choices.

The alarm function with use of light and sound works very well. I’m still trying to get the timing of the light with my wake time, but that is coming with use. The bluetooth pairing works well and is nice for listening to podcasts of music, I would give the SoundSpa five stars if the controls were easier to get to and use.

The controls on the side would make it so much easier. As they are on the bottom it is difficult to see the display to know what level or function you are working with and it’s modern and nice design don’t make it the easiest to hold and manipulate.

Still, I am going to sleep faster and waking more soundly and enjoying all the features.

This little gem is a must. Once it’s set up – and there are a few steps to get it set to the sound and color you want – it’s like having a spa room in your house. I have it my master bedroom and after one night of waking up with the alarm, which is a gradual light from dim to brighter and music/sound that is from soft to louder (that you set) my husband basically claimed it has his, moved it to his side of the bed and I haven’t gotten to “use” it since.

It’s fantastic. We have it on a setting that you can touch and the soft light comes on and soothing sounds play and you can just leave because it turns itself off after 30 mins. Or, fall asleep whatever.

the soft glow is relaxing and inviting – especially after a long day of work and even longer day of sitting in traffic! We got one for our daughter, too. She loves it. I recommend one for each room.

I received this item and I have to say its awesome. first it has a built in light that has several colors you can choose from and you can control how dim or bright you want it,and you can use the light to wake you up as an alarm function.

it gradually brightens when used as an alarm(like a sunrise hence the name). Then there is the sound machine. it has a few different sounds from birds,to water to ASMR which you can control the volume of,.

the sounds can be activated just by a slight pause when tapping on the speaker(on top) the light only needs a quick tap to turn on or off. its also a bluetooth speaker which I have yet to try out. (setting buttons are on the bottom).

The clock has soft orange colored numbers. I keep it by the bedside for when I need a light that is not too bright as to wake up my spouse. overall its a great product and worth the price. it would be awesome in a nursery or little kids room.

Product – I really struggle to feel awake through the darker mornings and would stay in bed a lot longer if I didn’t have my child to get up for. I had heard about bedside lights that replicate natural light but hadn’t really looked into them properly.

When I received the email about the flash sale I felt it was clearly a sign. I ordered the ‘Bodyclock Shine 300 sleep/wake-up light’ and after faffing around a bit trying to remember the sequence of buttons to press to scroll through menus and select what I wanted etc (I should have dug out the manual!) I have it sussed and am really genuinely happy with it.

Our blackout blinds really do what they say on the tin and for that reason I would normally sleep with them up to let natural light in. The Lumie Bodyclock is amazing. I love waking up to the sound of blackbirds (the goats made us laugh – we couldn’t bring ourselves to select them; and the cafe one personally confused us, but each to their own) and the gradual brightening light really does wake me up feeling properly alert.

I have used the wind-down-for-sleep function twice and both times it has worked really effectively; I would just need to be more disciplined in not falling asleep to the tv to get full use of this! School started again last week and this light has been a life saver for early mornings! To anyone that struggles to wake feeling ready for the day I whole heartedly recommend this product.

I would also like to add that I am pleased that this review request has come through a good few weeks after I received my product so that I am able to give a more honest review rather than a rushed one where I haven’t really tested the product properly – credit to Lumie on that front.

Pros: Looks really nice in the bedroom. Like the different sounds you can chose from on the alarm. Different level of light to suit your preference. Light gives a nice, soft ambiance, definitely helps with the dark winter mornings.

Tap the top to turn off alarm. Cons: I thought the light would come on gradually like sunrise and get lighter and lighter. However, you chose a light level which is what will come on at the time you set it for.

You can manually change it lighter or darker once it’s on. Can be confusing to set up but follow the instructions step by step and you will get there!.

I bought this refurbished after wanting one for ages – you couldn’t tell it was pre-owned! I’ve seen reviews to suggest that set-up/functionality is complicated or hard to understand, which I disagree with.

The light is VERY bright, which is great for waking you up in the morning and the sunset feature encourages you to ‘down tools’ at night when you’re struggling to see what you’re reading. I don’t always get to wake up to the alarm sounds and lights (busy household!) but when I do, it’s far less of a jolt than a blaring noise.

Overall it’s not too large a clock, is visually pleasing and isn’t heavy. I haven’t noticed it getting too warm, either. I’ll be looking into a SAD lamp next Autumn – thanks Lumie!.

This Philips Wake Light is the best lamp I’ve had. It has a soft glow that slowly brightens to wake you up easily without instant blinding light or loud jarring noise. I get a better night’s sleep and wake up in a much healthier way.

The product itself looks great and quite light in weight which makes it feel a little cheap. Despite the multiple functions this clock provides, the buttons to work setup and use are easy to find and press with great sensors for the buttons to light up.

The digital clock face can be dimmed down for those who like to sleep in the dark. The radio increases gradually in volume to wake you up as gently as possible. the light brightness ranges from 1-10 where 10 gives a great warm glow to the room that’s bright enough to be a night lamp to read under comfortably.

The only few misses I’ve personally found is the antenna sticking out in the back that can be a little fiddly and the powerline being a too short.

I really like this alarm clock. The light definitely makes a difference in helping me get up in the morning and I love the sounds of chirping birds. I do wish it had a battery back up. I read reviews and others mentioned it, so it was not enough to keep me from buying it, but if the power goes out during the night, the light flashes (and woke my husband up; he is not a fan of the clock).

As long as it does not lose power (and luckily it does not happen often or I would consider finding an inexpensive UPS to make sure it maintains power through brief outages). I have a terrible time waking up in the morning and this has definitely helped me.

What a great an innovative product. You can literally set the “sun” to help you fall asleep and wake up. Obviously you don’t really set the actual sun, but this click gives you the illusion of sun in your room.

At bed time you can set the minutes it takes for light to go down. It changes colors just as the natural sun does. It goes from a bright light, to a gradual orange and lower until it goes out. There are 20 levels of light.

It works in reverse to help you wake up. You can even set it to just use as a light when you need it. There are 2 programmable alarms that are easy to adjust. The alarms can use the normal alarm sound or use the radio.

I would recommend it, if you have trouble winding down at night to sleep and/or you have trouble waking up before the sun has risen. It really does help me.

I’m not a morning person and often wake up grumpy to the sound of my phone alarm. I therefore couldn’t wait to give this little gadget a try in hope that it would improve my mood in the mornings. My first impression was that it looks very sleek and stylish on my bedside table.

The alarm is easy to set with intuitive touch buttons at the front. I find the sunset mode very useful in the evenings with lights dimming gradually with the sound of waves, rain, etc. It really helps me relax and drift off to sleep.

Another useful feature is the dimmable display, especially for those of us who are distracted by bright lights on electronic devices and prefer complete darkness whilst trying to fall asleep. The time display can be dimmed completely and turned back on for a few seconds at the wave of a hand.

In the morning, the light gradually changes from warm red glow to orange and then bright (almost blinding!) white/yellow within 20-40 minutes before your set alarm. I was amazed by the level of brightness at the full setting.

It’s incredibly bright, but the good news is that it can be toned down to whatever brightness level you prefer. The highest light setting I use looks very natural, like the room is filled with sunshine in the morning.

Waking up gently with the light increasing gradually has improved my mood considerably. It is so much better than waking up abruptly in the dark at the sound of an alarm beeping. I feel much more refreshed since I started using it and would recommend it to anyone who finds it difficult to wake up, especially during dark winter mornings.

The device is multi-functional – besides sunrise simulation/wake-up alarm it also works as an FM radio, a reading light and a USB charger. Ideally, this should have been a DAB radio to be better value for money and a few more additional ‘smart’ features would make it even more amazing – such as ability to connect it to the Philips Hue bridge and to switch the alarm off with your voice (compatibility with voice assistants).

But all in all, this has transformed my mornings and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

I’ve been using this Phillips Wake-up light for a month now and can honestly say its changed my life (for the better!) I have had a problem sleeping with any light in the room and use black-out blinds to prevent this.

Basically i never get any natural light in my room and always wake up startled, feeling groggy and annoyed when my alarm goes off. So when i saw the concept of the wake-up light it intrigued me and i had to try it.

It has totally changed the way i sleep and more importantly wake up. I have tried all different lengths of times from 10 to 40 minutes for the light to go from a gentle glow to full sunrise – and have settled on 30 mins to be the perfect time for me with the beautiful bird song being my awakening ‘alarm’.

It gently brings me out of my deep sleep over the 30 minutes so that i am awake, yet dozing when the alarm begins. Fabulous – a complete life changer for me. I used to angrily hit my phone to snooze – fall back into a deep sleep to be rudely (angrily) awakened again.

Now when i hit the snooze, i actually find myself meditating for the 9 mins – which is something i haven’t done in years. Also not having to set my phone anymore to wake up. means i don’t have my phone in my hand at sleep time which inevitably led to surfing the net when i knew it was a bad thing to do.

I did find it a little bit difficult to operate in the beginning which is the only reason for 4 star on the ease of use. Over the first couple of weeks i got it all sorted out and now i know exactly how i like my settings and how to work everything – its easy.

I use the auto light at sleep time for 30 mins without any sound so it gradually dims – i don’t know how it looks when its at its dimmest as i am asleep by then. i feel so much better in myself with my gentle awakening and actually start the day positive and happy to be getting up – my groggy angry mornings are now happily just a distant memory.

and it looks pretty smart on my bedside table.

So rapt with this clock radio! Our last Tivoli lasted us for around 15years and we loved it so much we replaced it with the updated version. Loving the new features and the quality Tivoli sound.

Does everything I want without a lot of setup bother. I could not be more pleased.

I was in need of an alarm clock, as I am honestly not liking the idea of using my smartphone for that matter, any longer. This little guy is much more than an alarm, and for me a little goes a long way, this clock operates with 3 AA batteries that are not included, has no cable to plug in, and I like that, because I already have many things plugged in all over the house, so I am ok using batteries for certain things from time to time.

It has all that you need for a good night’s rest, I typically use a separate “sounds” machine to relax and sleep faster, and the sounds are already included with this device, on one side of the clock it has all the buttons you need to control everything: to set the time, the alarm, the temperature, sounds, stars, volume.

at the front face of the clock you can see the time, the date, the temperature, it has six different sounds that you switch from one to another by pressing and holding the “sounds” button, and it has a “stars” button that projects star shapes to the ceiling and walls, it automatically stays on for an hour or until you press the same button again.

This little device makes for a great addition to any bedroom, and as a helpful gift to any that is trying to find more natural ways to better sleep.

I was so excited to finally get my projection alarm clock, but ended up being pretty disappointed. It’s battery powered and very simple to set up and use, which is great! The controls are pretty intuitive, but the quality is lackluster.

I was very excited for the white noise/sleep sounds, but it just plays a very low-quality rain clip. The projection is color changing stars from a plastic cut-out, which whole nice, isn’t quite what I was expecting.

This clock is super cute. I love how it puts stars on the ceiling. Also has 6 soothing nature sounds. Perfect to help you fall asleep. The clock was a bit tricky at first to set. But i finally figured it out.

I like how it has the time,date and year also the temperature. This clock takes 3 double A batteries. Not included. I need one for the other room. So we will be buying another one.

My kids played around with this until they found the right setting. I am thankful that there are options as the stars are their favorite along with the comforting white noises to help you sleep. They are still trying to figure out which one is their favorite since they all fall asleep within a few minutes.

This is a great way to build a good bedtime routine and also helps them eventually graduate to a real alarm clock (without using a phone!). If you have trouble sleeping, this might also be for you! As an adult, I am trying to move away from using my phone to put me to bed! This is a great product with lots of options!.
