Get ready for British summer time…
With the clocks going forward an hour on Sunday 25 March, it’s the perfect time to consider upgrading your alarm clock to help you spring into action.
There’s a great variety available online and in-store, whether you prefer a standard clock radio-only design or fancy more choice about what stirs you from your sleep.
Philips AJ3500 Clock Radio Big Display
If you’re perfectly happy with FM or AM radio stations then something like the Philips AJ3500 Clock Radio Big Display is ideal. It comes with a dual alarm function, so if you’re prone to falling back to sleep after you’ve finished snoozing a second alarm could be just what you need.
It also comes with a large easy-to-read display, choice of buzzer or radio alarm, and a back-up battery in case there’s a power cut.
For iPod or iPhone owners, the Pure Siesta iDock will charge your device while you sleep and wake you to your choice of buzzer alarm, DAB radio or your own music collection.
As well as carrying the EcoPlus™ trademark, the iDock has four individual alarms so you can set one you for you, one for your partner and one for weekends. Plus, with automatic brightness control and USB port the iDock is a do-it-all, hassle-free option.
TEAC SRLUXi Table Top Audio Lamp
If you need more than a little noise to get you going, then TEAC’s SRLUXi Table Top Audio Lamp could be the answer.
As well as coming with all the features you’d expect in an iPod dock alarm clock, this unique combination brings together a dimmable LED tabletop lamp, a digital clock, alarm and snooze sleep timer with wake-up lighting (30min, 10min, 0min). It can also be used as a regular lamp so won’t compete for space on your bedside table.
