sunrise alarm
Gradual light waker
A sunrise alarm is a clock that wakes you by gradually increasing light intensity, simulating dawn.
The slow brightening—typically over 20 to 30 minutes—aims to rouse sleepers more gently than a sudden sound alarm: I switched to a sunrise alarm and stopped feeling groggy in the mornings.
Some include nature sounds or color temperature shifts.
