alarm clocks
Bedside wake-up devices
Alarm clocks are timepieces designed to wake sleepers at a preset time, typically with a loud sound or buzzer.
The concept extends to phone apps and smart devices that serve the same function.
To hit snooze is to delay the alarm briefly—a ritual of modern mornings.
