As daylight savings time comes to an end again, I like to take this time to focus on how tough or easy the time change is in our lives. I’m naturally an early riser. For others, it takes a trumpeting band of loud alarm clocks to get them out of bed. Here are some recommendations that are a little off the wall and a lot of help to many sound sleepers.
Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock with Super Shaker
Philips Wake Up Light Alarm Clock
Emerson SmartSet Alarm Clock Radio
What may appear like a simple nightstand alarm clock is a lot more with its ability to customize your wake-up schedule, and act as a Bluetooth speaker. The Emerson SmartSet Alarm Clock is controllable from both Android and iOS devices. Get the Emerson SmartSet Alarm Clock Radio here.
Echo Show 8
Amazon’s alarm clock smart speaker is perfect for bringing Alexa into the bedroom. She will wake you whenever you voice command her to bring you out of sleep. You can easily customize the sounds and methods such as a particular song you love to hear first thing in the morning. My favorite feature is the slider switch that shuts the camera and microphone off manually. Get the Echo Show 8 here.
