10. Sunrise Alarm Clock

Most people between the ages of 16 and 34 years old use their smartphones as an alarm clock.

Now, there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s reliable – so long as it’s charged. But it’s also jarring and rarely feels natural.

A light-up alarm clock that simulates the sunrise is a gentle way to wake up on a dark, cold morning.

It slowly gets brighter in your room and gradually wakes you up. The result is that you will feel more awake and happier than by being startled out of deep sleep by a blaring beeping.
