On alarm clocks

An alarm clock combines the function of a clock with a warning device to alert people when a certain time has come. The warning device - the alarm - has taken different shapes throughout history. However, they normally rely on a system of vibration, sound, or visual display. 

The alarm clocks have two main functions: to awaken people from their sleep and to work as a reminder to signal a certain event or activity.

The origins of the first alarm clocks are still unknown, but there are reports of the existence of primitive devices with a similar role already back to the centuries BC. A notable example is that of Plato, in ancient Greece. It is said that the philosopher had a large water clock with an embedded unspecified alarm system that would make the water sound like an organ. This fact is yet unconfirmed. The reason behind the alarm is also unknown, but it is believed that it was a device set to signal the beginning of his lectures at dawn. 

In the following centuries, alarm clocks were mostly used by religious institutions to announce the time for prayers or other community events. There are reports of individual (successful) attempts of making personal devices but they were far apart and were never patented or for sale. 

The first user-settable alarm clock that we could today recognize as such was first patented in 1847 by a French inventor. Since then, the devices have not stopped evolving. Radio was the first extra feature added to them, then cassette players followed by CD, iPod, and Bluetooth players, etc.

Nowadays, alarm clocks are available on computers, mobile phones, watches, and radio and clock devices, proving the important role that came to take on our daily routines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do we set an alarm.

Alarm clocks are used to wake you up at a specific time with a preferred sound. An alarm clock is a timer that is primarily used to wake people from their night's sleep or short naps. However, they are also used for other purposes such as reminders for taking medications, attending meetings, executing tasks, and many more. Alarm clocks are very helpful for people who want to wake up early for work, school, or any events. The main objective of an alarm is to wake up on time and never be late for any activities.

Why is it important to set an alarm?

Alarm clocks do play an important role in our daily lives, though sometimes seen as a contemporary annoyance. They are extremely effective in waking us out of bed in the morning. Alarms enable you to perform time-based operations or events by setting them as reminders. Alarm clocks can also assist you in sticking to a consistent sleep schedule. Getting up at the same time every day benefits our internal biological clocks and overall health. Relying on an alarm clock can help you manage time to maintain a consistent schedule, increase productivity, and promote healthier sleep patterns.

Who invented the alarm?

Before the invention of alarm clocks, people used to rely on the bright morning sun to wake them up in the early days of human civilization. Then there was the rooster, which was loud enough to wake up an entire village. Previously. Levi Hutchins of Concord, New Hampshire, invented the first American alarm clock in 1787. However, he created this device solely for himself, and it only rang at 4 a.m. to wake him up for work. In 1847, the French inventor, Antoine Redier invented and patented the first adjustable mechanical alarm clock. Edwin Holmes was an American businessman who is credited with inventing, commercializing, and establishing the first burglar alarm networks.

What alarm sound is best?

A pleasant alarm tone can help you wake up more alert. But what kind of alarm gives you the most alertness when you wake up? It's never a good idea to wake up groggy. How we wake up affects our attitude and outlook for the day and our cognition and mental function. Scientists have discovered that sounds that people can remember, like, or even sing and hum along have the greatest impact on the brain in the morning. Silent alarm clocks make getting out of bed easier, healthier, and less disruptive. In general, they are far better for your health. Ultimately, different individuals have different preferences. The best alarm sound can be that wakes you up comfortably without causing any stress. Check different sounds and stick to the one that you find the best.

Why do sounds wake us up?

We are more likely to be awakened by louder sounds than by quieter sounds. For example, a loud bang in the middle of the night is more likely to startle and disturb us than a mosquito buzzing nearby. The amygdala, a brainstem area, responds to noise with stress. Our amygdala develops a sense of which sounds may signal impending danger over time. When the amygdala detects sound, it produces cortisol (a stress hormone), resulting in an involuntary startle response. Our adaptation makes us alert by certain sounds even asleep or at rest.

Which is better snoozing or waking up?

From an expert perspective, it is better to wake up than snooze. If you hit the snooze button and again go back to sleep for an hour or two after your first alarm goes off, it might make you feel groggy when you wake up as the sleep is not complete. Though snoozing is not considered a serious offense, you can use the extra 10 minutes to stretch and gradually awaken your brain, rather than falling asleep again.

How many hours should I need to sleep being an adult?

According to medical experts, the average sleeping hours for adults ranges from 7 to 9 hours per night. However, few people feel relaxed just for 6 hours of sleep and others might need 10 hours of sleep based on their lifestyle or health conditions. It is more important to maintain a healthy sleep routine rather than the duration of your sleep.

What should be the perfect bedtime timings for a working professional?

The perfect bedtime timings for working professionals merely depend on their work schedule and sleep patterns. According to research, about 7 to 9 hours of sleep is required for healthy working adults. Let us assume that they need to wake up around 6 to 6:30 am, it would be better to go to bed between 9 to 10 pm.

What happens if I sleep too much?

Sleeping more than required can cause dangerous side effects on our health. According to medical experts, it can increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, obesity, and depression. So to take care of your health remember to set an alarm to get up on time.

Why digital clocks are better?

Compared to traditional analog clocks, digital clocks are considered better mostly during time-sensitive situations. Digital clocks display the time in a digital format, similar to those found on watches, phones, or alarm clocks which is easy to read. These clocks are available in both 12-hour and 24-hour formats. Some digital models come with a countdown timer to aid in timekeeping. Digital clocks have more functionality than analog clocks. Analog clocks function mechanically as digital clocks are performed electronically and need an electrical power supply. They have additional features such as alarms, timers, and stopwatches. Overall, digital clocks are more accurate and easy to read.

Do alarm clocks turn off by themselves?

Most alarm clocks do not turn off by themselves without manual assistance. They have a snooze feature that will temporarily stop, but again they start ringing after a certain duration of time. However, a few alarm clocks are designed with an automatic shutoff feature that enables to turn off the alarm after a specific duration, which can be adjusted either for 15 or 30 minutes, in case the user fails to turn it off.

How to wake up on my first alarm?

A few tips to help you wake up with your first alarm are: 1. Place your alarm clock out of reach so that you have to get out of bed to turn off the alarm physically which will break your sleep cycle and ultimately help you wake up on time. 2. Select your favorite ringtone that you feel is soothing and attentive to wake you up. 3. Maintain a healthy sleep routine that will help to maintain your biological clock and make it easier to wake up as a daily routine.

Is it possible to wake up without an alarm clock?

Yes, it is possible to wake up without using an alarm clock. You need to train your body every day to wake up naturally at the same time. By doing so, you can easily wake up at the scheduled time by yourself.

Does this alarm setter function offline?

No, as the alarm setter is a completely web-based tool and needs a proper internet connection to function.

Does this alarm setter wake up my computer from sleep mode?

No, the alarm setter does not wake up your computer from sleep mode rather you must activate your computer for the alarm to ring.

How to set analog alarm clock: a detailed step-by-step guide

Easy guide on how to set analog alarm clock

An analog alarm clock is a classic-looking bedside clock with a traditional clock face, a set of hands, and a bunch of advantages. So, is it really worth having nowadays, when we have lots of digital alarm clocks? Let’s find out more about it right now!

Easy guide on how to set analog alarm clock

What do you know about an analog alarm clock?

Mechanical alarm clocks have been existing since the fifteen century. They are still actual and popular. So, what is the secret of their longevity?

Easy guide on how to set analog alarm clock

Why opt for analog clocks?

Today, when we have a great variety of digital clocks, you may wonder why one should have an analog alarm clock. However, there are multiple reasons to choose it.

#1. No bright light

Most digital alarm clocks are prone to emit dim or bright light. When you sleep in a dark room, this bright intrusion can either wake you up or interfere with your slumber. In addition, there is one more drawback of the digital clock light. If your digital alarm clock emits blue light, it is not especially compatible with sleeping.

Easy guide on how to set analog alarm clock

Since the blue wavelength is can interrupt melatonin production, it affects our natural sleep cycle. Fortunately, you can opt for an analog alarm clock that has no light to emit in the dark and is great for peaceful sleeping. If you need to know the time, you can just push a button on the clock. The night light switches on and gently illuminate your clock face.

#2. Reliable work

No matter if you have a power supply or not, you can always know the time with an analog clock. You don’t need to plug it in, you can’t be afraid of a power outage. Your analog alarm clock will go and show you the correct time anyway!

Easy guide on how to set analog alarm clock

The key point of the analog clocks’ reliability is that most of them use dependable and long-lasting batteries. If the batteries run out, you can easily replace them with new ones.

#3. No EMF radiation

One more drawback of digital clocks is that they may emit not only bright light but also low levels of EMF radiation. Any digital device like a cell phone or alarm clock can emit small invisible energy waves. These waves can interfere with your sleep and lead to some negative outcomes for your health. So, having such devices in your bedroom is quite questionable.

Easy guide on how to set analog alarm clock

However, analog clocks don’t emit any dangerous waves as they have just mechanical inner workings. Having an analog bedside clock, you don’t face any risks to your health. Long story short, analog clocks are a great option as a healthy and eco-friendly alternative to digital ones! In addition, you can always know the correct time even in case of a power outage.

How does an analogue alarm clock work?

In the  clock face , you can find four hands:  the hour hand ,  minute hand ,  second hand , and  alarm hand. – An  hour hand  is the shortest and the widest hand that moves slowly to show the hours. – A  minute hand  is thinner and longer than the hour hand. It moves faster and shows the minutes on the clock face. – A s econd hand  is the thinnest and the fastest one. Sometimes it has a different color so you can see it easily. By the way, in analog alarm clocks, the second hand is the reason for the ticking sound that you can hear while it moves on the clock’s face. – An  alarm hand  is a stationary hand, usually of a different color. You need to configure the alarm hand separately placing it at the desired time you need to wake up at. – If your clock has a  calendar , there is  one more small hand  on the face of your clock that shows what month it is now. The  back of the clock  can include the next features: – Set the alarm button   (On/Off)  to switch on the alarm function. To make your clock work as an alarm clock, you need to turn it to the ON position. However, if your alarm clock needs to work only once a day, you need to switch it off in the morning and switch it on again in the evening. – The time set knob  is a dial that helps you to set the current time on your clock. As a rule, it controls and moves the hour and minute hands. The second hand is usually controlled by the inserted battery. – The alarm knob  usually looks like a time-set one but has a different function. It controls and moves an alarm hand (which is also known as a silver hand) on the face of your clock. To set the time, just turn this dial until the alarm hand is in the desired time position. – The snooze button  is placed on the top of your clock. To snooze your alarm, you can activate this button by pressing it. In addition, this button activates the light on the clock’s face while it is pressed. The alarm signal can “snooze” for five minutes, and then go off again. To switch off the alarm completely, replace the set alarm button to the OFF position. – The light button  is often the same as the snooze button. However, it can just switch the light on so that you can see the face of your clock in the dark. Just press this button to turn the small light on. – The battery compartment  usually has a visible and improved battery cover.In this case, you can place the battery 1AA (1.5V) inside this compartment. You can also find the polarity directions displayed inside of it. However, some alarm clocks have smaller battery compartments for smaller batteries accordingly. – Some older clocks also have  wind-up keys  instead of alarm and time-set knobs. There can be two separate keys or a single one for both the clock and alarm functions. To activate the alarm, you need to wind the key clockwise until it stops. However, don’t force it to turn once wound. – In case your alarm clock has a  calendar option , there is  one more dial  on the back of it. Generally, all the dials have arrows, diagrams, or any other symbols next to them to show their function. – In addition, some clocks are featured with  silent movement  to reduce the ticking noise while the second-hand moves on its way.

How does the analog alarm clock sound?

– In traditional analog alarm clocks, there are often two metal bells on the top of the clock. There is a hammer between them. When the hammer strikes the metal bells, it makes the alarm sound. – In modern analog alarm clocks, there is a sound feature within the case. There are mechanical workings inside the alarm clock that produce an alarm sound. Unlike the metal bell ringing, this type of clock produces a gentle beep that helps you to awake more smoothly.

How do you set an analog clock?

Setting an analog alarm clock is not a complicated task when you know how it works. There are just a few simple steps that can help you to set the alarm and the exact time on your analog clock. In addition, you can make use of some extra features like a light or alarm clock radio. – The first step is to  insert the battery into the alarm clock . Remove the battery cover on the back of the clock. Before you insert the battery, check the polarity directions. They are usually displayed inside the battery compartment. Make sure that you place the battery correctly up to the polarity. – If you need to reset your alarm clock often, that is a sign that you need to change the battery in it. Open the battery compartment, pull the old battery out, and place the new one instead. Don’t forget to change your batteries on time! – If you can’t see a standard battery compartment on the back of the clock, look for a small rectangular hole in the indented rectangle. It is a sign of an alternative battery pack. – If you have no battery inside your alarm clock and have no clue what type and size of batteries you need, explore the battery pack. Most battery compartments have embossed letters inside the battery spaces. These letters will show you what type and size of batteries you need to get. – Then, you need to  set the right time on your analog alarm clock . This step is essential as your alarm clock has to wake you up on time. You can do it with a help of a time knob on the back of the clock. – Now, when you set the time, you can proceed with  setting the alarm  on your bedside clock. – Make use of such special features as a light button or the alarm radio . You can set to play some good music that will help you to wake up on time and in a good mood. If you need to see the clock face in the dark, press the light button.

How do I set the time on my alarm clock?

– Find two knobs on the back of the clock. These are a  time-set knob  and an  alarm-set knob . These two are dials that usually have arrows, diagrams, or other symbols that indicate their functions. You can define the alarm-set knob by a small bell image above it. – To understand how the alarm and time-set dials work, you can experiment a bit. Just turn the dial and look at the face of your alarm clock to see what happens. In addition, it helps you to understand better the direction where you have to turn the dials. – Now, you can  set the current time . To move the minute and hour hands, rotate the time-set knob. Keep turning it until you can see the hour and minute hands on the clock face pointing at the correct places. – When you set up the right time, you can proceed with the  alarm settings.

How do you set an alarm on an analog table clock?

– To  set the time , you need to find the alarm-set knob. – Turn this dial looking at the alarm hand on your clock face, until it shows the proper time at which you need your alarm clock to sound. – Now, make sure that your alarm function is switched on. If not, slide the alarm-set button to the “ON” position. Now, your alarm is activated. – As soon as the alarm sounds, deactivate the alarm mode. Pull the alarm-set switch to the “OFF” position to deactivate it. – A good idea is to test the alarm clock out. Reduce the time to the closest position and set the alarm on. Wait until the alarm clock sounds to confirm it’s working. – Congratulations! If the alarm clock works correctly, set it to the desired time and place the clock back next to your bed.

As you can see, setting the analog alarm clock is absolutely easy. You can have this simple and handy device in your bedroom and rely on it when you need to wake up on time. Want to know about Turning off your Echo Dot alarm with several handy methods, read

The Best Alarm Clocks

Five of the best alarm clocks, all powered on and showing a time of 12:40.

If you use your phone in the bedroom at night, it’s probably messing with your sleep , even if you mute and dim it. An alarm clock can be a healthy upgrade to a distraction-free bedroom, despite it feeling like a technological downgrade.

After a phone-free week of testing, we recommend six clocks for a more peaceful bedroom. They aren’t too bright at night and will dependably wake you up in the morning. And they’ll look nice on your nightstand to boot.

How we picked

Whether it has hands or a digital display, a clock should be legible at a glance.

The ideal alarm will wake you up without a jarring effect. We favored models that had pleasant tones (or the option to change them).

Accessing alarm settings or adjusting features like snooze, brightness, and alarm volume shouldn’t require a YouTube tutorial.

Radio, USB ports, Bluetooth and internet connectivity, alarm sound and tone options—these are all welcome features (but they’re not necessary).

The research

Why you should trust us, a budget digital alarm with a large face: dreamsky compact digital alarm clock, a just “smart enough” clock: lenovo smart clock essential, an unalarming bedside companion: loftie alarm clock, a unique and informative digital alarm clock: oct17 wooden alarm clock, best sunlight alarm clock: philips smartsleep wake-up light hf3520, a classic wooden alarm clock: lemnos riki alarm clock, how we picked and tested, other good alarm clocks, the competition.

I’m a writer at Design Milk , and since 2006 I’ve been writing about home design for a multitude of design-focused outlets, including Apartment Therapy, Lonny, Metropolis, and Design Sponge. I’ve also written several guides here at Wirecutter, including on bedside lamps, floor lamps, bed frames, and patio furniture.

Previously, as an industrial designer, I designed children’s toys and furniture, and this allowed me to learn the ins and outs of mass-market product design—from conception to manufacturing. I have an uncanny ability to wake approximately one minute before any alarm, but I’m still paranoid enough to set one as a backup.

Our pick for best budget digital alarm clock with a large face, the DreamSky Compact Digital Alarm Clock.

DreamSky Compact Digital Alarm Clock

An affordable, easy-to-see alarm clock.

This budget digital alarm clock does so much for so little. It has the largest numerical display of the clocks we tested, two USB ports, and easy-to-use tactile controls (which take the guesswork out of changing settings).

Buying Options

Best for: Those who desire a large digital display, want to charge devices overnight via USB, and don’t mind a plug-in model.

Why it’s great: If you’re looking for an alarm clock that does a lot on the cheap, the DreamSky Compact Digital Alarm Clock is both an alarm clock and a USB charging station. Something that really stood out with this model, versus other clocks we tested: The DreamSky has an enormous digital display (each number is 2 inches tall) that stretches across the entire front of the clock. Although I’m nearsighted, with basically mole-like eyesight, I could read this clock clearly from a distance—without wearing glasses or contacts.

View of the top of the DreamSky Compact Digital Alarm Clock, showing its sleek black outside and large snooze panel.

Some digital alarm clocks we tested—specifically those with lots of extra features and controls, such as the Philips Wake-Up Light —required a detailed review of manuals to get them up and running. The DreamSky, on the other hand, was plug and play: The clock was easy and intuitive to set and adjust, with clearly labeled buttons for time and alarm and two physical dials for volume control and display brightness. The DreamSky was the only clock we tested that had such a wide range of customization options—it’s simple to literally dial in your personal preferences. The snooze button isn’t a physical button, but there’s a touch-sensitive surface that shushes the alarm in nine-minute increments.

If you’re picky about colors, you’ll like that this DreamSky model offers seven color variations, with different finishes and display hues to choose from.

You should know that this alarm clock is not fully battery-operated—two backup AAA batteries are responsible only for keeping time and alarm settings, in case of a power outage. There are two USB ports in the back—one to charge most mobile devices with 5 V output and the other to power the clock via USB (or you can plug directly into the wall).

Flaws but not dealbreakers: The DreamSky logo emblazoned at the top (underneath the snooze button) is downright ugly. The plastic case and buttons feel every bit like what you’d expect from a $20 device. The batteries protect only time and alarm settings, in case of a power outage; for a full display, you have to plug in the clock or keep it connected via USB cable.

Materials: plastic Finishes/colors: black case available with green, orange, red, white, or blue digits; white case available with white or blue digits Dimensions: 5.8 by 2.9 by 2.7 inches Power: plug adapter

The Lenovo Smart Clock Essential, the best smart alarm clock for small spaces.

Lenovo Smart Clock Essential

A slightly smarter alarm clock.

The Lenovo is an affordable smart alarm clock that won’t take up much space. And with its built-in Google Assistant, it can be operated completely hands-free.

Best for: Anyone looking for a compact digital alarm clock that offers time, day, and weather info at a glance, and those who prefer using voice controls over physical buttons.

Why it’s great: Lenovo offers two Smart Clocks, the Lenovo Smart Clock and its cheaper sibling, the Lenovo Smart Clock Essential . We liked the smaller and more affordable of the two because its options are true to its name—Essential—with time, weather, and day easily viewed at a glance across its 4.5-inch auto-brightness-adjusting LED display.

Most everything this alarm clock can do is hidden, accessed using its built-in Google Assistant voice controls or with the Google Home app. Even though the clock is outfitted with four evenly distributed buttons—for volume, turning on music, and the alarm settings—they are obscured from view due to the angled wedge design. Unless you’re looking at them from above, the buttons are discernible only by touch, and I often fumbled at night or in the early morning while trying to turn on music or adjust the volume. There’s also a tap at the top to enable the snooze feature, but it sometimes required another touch to register. To set the alarm, adjust the volume, or turn on the night-light, it was always much easier to summon help with a “hey, Google …” instead. Fortunately, the clock’s two microphones (one in the front, the other in the back) are very sensitive and able to discern commands, even when we used a hushed volume at night. And though the clock’s single-speaker output can be a bit tinny for playing music, it can get surprisingly loud and is just fine for alarm tones and answering Google Assistant prompts.

Our smart alarm clock pick for small spaces, shown face down, exposing the ports on the back of the clock.

The clock’s compact size is ideal for anyone with limited space. Even so, Lenovo included a USB 2.0 Type-A port in the back for charging devices (albeit at a slow rate, which is best for overnight charging). There’s also an oval-shaped night-light in the back. But the output is fairly dim, even at the brightest setting, so it’s best used as an ambient light to help you find your way in the dark.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: The clock’s physical buttons make a satisfying click when pressed. But because of their angled pitch, they’re small and hard to discern. The tap-to-snooze feature can be finicky.

Materials: polycarbonate and cloth cover Finishes/colors: gray Dimensions: 2.51 by 3.26 by 4.51 inches Power: Plug-in

The Loftie Alarm Clock, the best alarm clock with smart features and numerous features.

An unalarming and smarter bedside companion

This was one of the least sleep-disruptive digital alarm clocks we tested. Whether it’s the night-light, the snooze button, or the sound of the alarm tones, every detail feels like it’s been refined to reinforce a state of calm.

Best for: Those who believe in the minimalist ethos of “less, but better,” and people who enjoy falling asleep or waking up to ambient music and nature sounds.

Why it’s great: The Loftie can fool you into thinking you’re waking up of your own accord every morning, rather than being forcibly annoyed out of bed. Of all the alarm clocks we tested, the clock’s selection of five ambient compositions best induced the sensation of arising alongside the natural cues of the morning—sounds of birds, ambient tones, morning temple bells. After nine minutes, the Loftie follows up the first alarm with an ever-so-slightly more-insistent “get up” chime. (After first using the Loftie, I wrote down that “I felt like I had arisen to a morning directed by Terrence Malick , all contemplative mood and relaxing stillness.”) There’s the option to set different alarms scheduled for different days of the week, as well as a multitude of alarms you could set as reminders throughout the day—to get up occasionally, exercise, or walk the dog, among other everyday tasks.

An iPhone open to the Loftie mobile app, shown next to the Loftie alarm clock.

The Loftie is also designed to help owners relax and fall asleep. It includes a variety of background-noise generators (white, brown, pink, and so forth), meditation/breathwork soundscapes, and even a podcast called Snoozecast . Any sound can be programmed to be activated or turned off with the press of a button, and this made the Loftie easy to use when the heavy blanket of unconsciousness began to take over at night.

Of clocks we’ve tested, this one’s display isn’t the largest or the brightest. But it’s clear, and it automatically sets the time once connected to a Wi-Fi network. We also liked the clock’s all-black exterior (it comes in a white and black option, too), which is free of distracting lights or branding. There’s an adjustable night-light hidden at the base that’s easily turned on and off, using the large button on top of the clock (it also works as the snooze button). You won’t be able to read using the light, but it’s bright enough for when you’re fumbling for your glasses or going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The two other buttons are for setting the alarm, accessing brightness and volume settings, setting the duration of the sleep timer, and choosing alarm tones. The Loftie isn’t “smart” like other smart alarm clocks, in that you won’t be served the news or the weather with the aid of a voice assistant. But on a regular basis this clock can get additional features delivered via Wi-Fi updates. For instance, we discovered one night that there were a few more soothing classical compositions to wake up to than we’d had the day before and that alarm-scheduling options had been expanded. The developers recently added Bluetooth speaker functionality and are promising Spotify connectivity and additional sounds as features that are “coming soon.” We’ll update this guide when—and if—these features appear.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: The Loftie was $165 when we first tested it, but the price has dropped to $150. We still think it’s a pretty penny to pay for any device, let alone an alarm clock with a purposely edited selection of features. The numerical display is legible up close, but it’s slightly dimmer when viewed off-center. And, for nearsighted sleepers like us, we wish there were an option to increase the display size.

Materials: polycarbonate Finishes/colors: black (with an option for black or white accent colors) Dimensions: 2.75 by 6.5 by 2.75 inches Power: plug-in (USB-C adapter)

The Oct17 Wooden Alarm Clock, which is shaped like a triangular block with the numbers displaying directly on the wood.

Oct17 Wooden Alarm Clock

A clock you can control with a clap or a tap.

This alarm clock has a unique tip-proof, triangular design, and you can set the display to turn off automatically after 10 seconds (just tap the clock’s face to wake it up again).

Best for: Those who prefer the look of wood over plastic and who value unfussy contemporary design—as well as those who want an alarm clock that displays the time, date, temperature, and humidity at a glance.

Why it’s great: The Oct17 ’s triangular-shaped wood body looks much nicer than one might expect from a budget clock. In fact, it’s more attractive than many pricier clock options we considered. (It’s also the only clock we found that’s virtually impossible to tip over.) This model is very affordable, and yet compared with the cheap feel of the DreamSky and Capello alarm clocks, the Oct17 seems upscale. The clock’s wood-grain finish has a great feel, and its cool “now you see me, now you don’t” LED display shines from beneath its veneer.

The Oct17 displays more information at a glance than any other clock we recommend, showing the time and date (alternating) alongside the temperature and humidity level—all without requiring an internet connection. If you’re bothered by ambient light glowing from your clock, the Oct17 has three brightness settings. And it’s the only display we found that you can set to turn off completely after 10 seconds. But when you need to know the time again, a clap of the hands or a tap on the front face will reawaken the clock for 10 seconds.

If you don’t wake at the same time each day, this is the digital alarm clock for you: It has three separate alarms, including one you can set to skip on weekends (to allow for sleeping in).

Flaws but not dealbreakers: Navigating the clock’s mode settings and feature adjustments proved unintuitive, requiring more button presses than a Street Fighter move combination.

Materials: MDF and wood veneer Finishes/colors: brown, black, bamboo, and white finishes Dimensions: 3.1 by 3.1 by 5.9 inches Power: USB cable (included), four AAA batteries (not included) for emergency power backup

Our pick for the best sunrise alarm clock, the Philips SmartSleep Wake-Up Light HF3520.

Philips SmartSleep Wake-Up Light HF3520

Best sunrise alarm clock.

A serene alternative to loud alarms, this clock induced a gentler wake-up (a simulated sunrise accompanied by birdsong) than any other clock we tried. But it’s pricey, and it’s harder to navigate than the other clocks we tested.

You save $15 (14%)

Best for: Anyone who hates being jolted awake each morning with a wailing alarm, and those who prefer easing into consciousness with increasing luminosity.

Why it’s great: A top pick in our guide to sunrise alarm clocks, the Philips SmartSleep Wake-Up Light HF3520 is still our favorite sunrise alarm clock for anyone who hates being woken abruptly. Over the span of 30 minutes, the luminous LED orb produces a convincing simulation of dawn or dusk. It provides a kinder, gentler wake-up than any other alarm we recommend, and it’s the only clock we tested that can help lull you to sleep at night. The Wake-Up Light also includes more alarm options than most clocks we tried, with five nature-themed tones, along with a built-in FM tuner and a backup alarm. (However, navigating the clock’s touch surface and icon-based menu system isn’t very intuitive, and not always responsive.) Our favorite setting was a combination of the simulated sunlight paired with the convincing sounds of cheerful chirping birds.

We also found the clock’s light sufficiently bright enough to work as a decent reading lamp, making the Wake-Up the only clock we recommend that can do so. At 8 inches wide, this model takes up a lot more room on the nightstand than other clocks we tested. But when you think of the Wake-Up as a combination alarm clock and bedside lamp, it presents a pretty efficient use of space.

Close view of the buttons on the side of the lit face of the the Philips Wake-up Light HF3520.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: Despite the Wake-Up Light’s overall size, its numerical digital display is less than an inch tall and so not as easy to read as those of the other clocks we tried (especially with its light at full brightness). The secondary set of tactile buttons across the unit’s top are more intuitive to use than the icons on the clock’s display, but they’re small and all the same size, so it’s easy to press the wrong button. The FM radio is a plus, but considering that the clock is our second-most-expensive pick, the silver-dollar-sized rear-facing speaker is tinny and disappointing. The LED bulb is rated to last seven years with regular use. But it cannot be replaced, so over time the clock could lose its most distinguishing feature.

Materials: polycarbonate Finishes/colors: white Dimensions: 8 by 3 by 3 inches Power: DC power plug with eight-hour power backup

Our pick for the best classic wooden alarm clock, the Lemnos Riki Alarm Clock.

Lemnos Riki Alarm Clock

A handsome, classic clock.

The Riki is an analog clock that’s easy to read and to set (with one of the most pleasant alarms that will still wake you up). It’s ideal for light sleepers who want to banish electronic distractions from the bedroom.

Best for: Design enthusiasts, or anyone looking to ditch their smartphone for an uncomplicated, completely silent, easy-to-use classic alarm clock.

Why it’s great: If you want a dependable alarm clock with a timeless analog design that’s dead silent and easy to use, the Lemnos Riki checks all of those boxes. The only alarm clock among our picks with a design-award pedigree , the sedate beechwood Riki was designed by Japanese modernist Riki Watanabe, whose work was known for being simple yet functional. The Riki’s prominent face has half-inch-tall numerals and large hour and minute arms, so it’s easy to read—even in dim light and from a distance. The clock’s sole button consolidates the light and snooze functions (doling out extra sleep in four-minute increments), and we found it effortless to use, even with our eyes closed. When you press the button, the clock illuminates just enough to make the face legible (a big plus for those of us who like to peek at the time before we have any real intention of waking up). The brightness level seemed more akin to candlelight than to the intrusive modern glare produced by the LED- or LCD-backlit displays on other clocks we tested. Even the next-dimmest night-light (on the Marathon Analog Desk Alarm Clock with Auto-Night Light ) seemed much too bright after we’d acclimated to the Riki’s tranquil illumination.

Although it looks perfectly round, the clock actually has a subtle indentation on its base that keeps it from rolling away—and from moving when brushed or bumped. And because this clock is battery-operated (it needs only a single AA battery), there are no cords to worry about. In addition to its snooze button, the straightforward Riki has just three controls: an on/off switch for the alarm and two dial knobs to set the time and the alarm.

Close up of the bottom of the Lemnos Riki Alarm Clock, one of our picks for best alarm clock.

If the tick-tock of some clocks’ mechanical movement tends to keep you awake, rest assured that this clock is completely silent—something we can’t say about the percussive passing of time produced by the Alessi Optic 02 B or the faint bzzzz emanating from the Marathon Analog Desk Alarm Clock with Auto-Night Light . The only sound the Riki makes comes from its alarm, which is loud enough to wake you without being annoying.

Close view of the snooze button on top of the Lemnos Riki Alarm Clock, one of our picks for best alarm clock.

Flaws but not dealbreakers: The Riki isn’t cheap, and it’s gone up a bit in price since we first tested it. Even though this clock is still available on Amazon and at various other retailers, the Lemnos site currently lists the Riki as “archived ,” so we’re investigating whether it may have been discontinued permanently. We will update this guide as soon as we know more.

Setting the Riki’s alarm to a specific hour is fairly simple to do, but setting it to an exact minute is more of an estimate, due to the clock’s dial face. The ABS resin snooze-and-light button matches the color of the beechwood clock case, but it isn’t made of wood.

Materials: beechwood, ABS resin, glass Finishes/colors: natural, brown, white, gray Dimensions: 4.3 by 4.5 by 2.2 inches Power: one AA battery

Five different alarm clocks we tested to find the best alarm clock, in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors.

Alarm clocks may seem a bit old-fashioned, since everyone and their grandmother now uses a phone as an alarm. A search for “alarm clock” on Amazon returns a paltry seven pages of models to choose from, many only minutely different from the next (and most so ugly that the thought of sleeping near them is enough to induce mild insomnia).

But there are still some great options available today, and here are the features we looked for in an ideal alarm clock:

  • Easy to read: Whether it has hands or a digital display, a clock should be legible at a glance, even without contacts or eyeglasses.
  • Produces a pleasant alarm tone: The ideal alarm will wake you up without creating a jarring effect. We favored models with pleasant tones and the option to change them based on personal preference.
  • Dimmable: A persistent, noticeable bright light can be a detriment to falling asleep. We highly recommend a clock with the option of manually or automatically dimming the display.
  • Compact and stable: A good alarm clock has a low center of gravity and sufficient weight to counter the clumsy hands of the half-awake.
  • Simple to set: Accessing alarm on/off settings or adjusting features like snooze, brightness, and alarm volume shouldn’t require a PhD or a YouTube tutorial.
  • Unobtrusive: An alarm clock should not be the first thing you notice in a bedroom—perhaps it should even be the last. Leave the statement pieces to the living room.
  • Extra features: Radio, USB ports, Bluetooth and internet connectivity, multiple alarms, alarm sound and tone options, and a backup battery are all welcome (but not necessary).

In 2018, after reading through customer reviews on Amazon and other retailers—and focusing particularly on the qualities listed above—we called in the 10 most promising alarm clocks. We used each clock for a few days and nights. In 2021, we again scoured retailers and called in four more alarm clocks to test. We tested each model in our bedrooms, with the alarm set half an hour earlier than our usual wake-up time, to ensure the clock’s alarm tone was responsible for breaking our usual sleep cycle as well as to allow us to use each clock’s snooze function while still groggy. We also kept an eye out for cosmetic defects, and we inspected the durability of materials and construction, imagining the litany of abuse an alarm clock may have to endure over its lifetime. Aside from the largest clock (the Philips Wake-Up Light), our picks are small; they should fit on most nightstands and won’t slide or knock over easily.

If you’re just looking for a basic and affordable AM/FM radio clock: Consider the Sangean RCR-5 , a back-to-basics dual-alarm clock radio that costs less than $50. The Sangean scores solidly online with owners, but we found the clock’s cheap, glossy plastic finish and overly conspicuous logo distracting and reminiscent of models found on drugstore electronics shelves. It made us appreciate the similarly priced Lenovo Smart Clock Essential ’s tasteful simplicity that much more.

If you’re looking for a smart alarm clock with a color screen: Consider the Lenovo Smart Clock , which is just barely larger than its more affordable, monochromatic, non-touch Essential counterpart but combines a punchy, full-color touchscreen display with the same Google Assistant hatful of tricks. The introduction of another bright color screen in the bedroom isn’t a great idea , though, and the few other extras the Smart Clock adds—a selection of user-customizable faces and more alarm options than in the Essential —do not really justify its price.

If you want a cheap and basic alarm clock (and you can find it in stock):  The RCA RCD30 is an affordable digital alarm clock with a bright display, an easy-to-use button layout, and an alarm loud enough to wake heavy sleepers. It’s also the least expensive model we tested, making it a good choice when you need something cheap and dependable, like for a guest room or a vacation rental. The RCD30 also comes with the option for backup via a 9-volt battery, so you won’t lose your settings if the power goes out at 2 a.m. Stock has been inconsistent though and it looks like it may be getting discontinued.

Amazon Echo Spot : Amazon discontinued the Echo Spot, so we can no longer recommend it. Although it was the most expensive clock we tested, we loved how small and simple it was to set up. It also offered more features than any other clock in our tests. Amazon has folded features from the Echo Spot into its smart displays, like the Echo Show 8 and the cheaper Echo Show 5 (which you can read more about in our guide to smart displays ). We also recommend the Echo Dot in our guide to Alexa speakers , one of which comes in a version with an LED clock display .

Marathon Analog Desk Alarm Clock with Auto-Night Light : The Marathon has many great features. In addition to its compact design (the clock measures 3.5 inches wide by 1.5 inches deep), the Marathon features a sensor night-light, dead-quiet movement, a clearly marked alarm and snooze buttons, and a low-glow light that’s similar to (but not quite as good as) the one on the Riki . Its one and only shortcoming was legibility: The clock’s printed numerals were small and hard to read at a glance. We’d still recommend it if you want a battery-operated alarm clock that’s easy to throw in your luggage.

Lexon Flip On/Off Alarm Clock : (Of note: This clock has now been replaced by the Lexon Flip Plus ; the size hasn’t changed, however.) The Lexon Flip is fun to use and has a novel design that works well: To turn the alarm on or off, you flip the entire clock over, instead of pressing a button or a switch. Each side is clearly marked, with “on” written across the clock’s rubber coating on one side and “off” written across the other side. The Flip (which is nearly impossible to tip over) takes up little space, but its small size also means it isn’t as legible as we’d like for an everyday alarm clock. Its LCD display is hard to see in standby mode, and it’s easy to read only with the backlight on. Also, its high-pitched digital tone is effective yet annoying.

MoMA Alume Cube Clock : We liked the Alume for its compact, 2.75-inch minimalist silver-cube design. It should fit on any surface with plenty of room to spare, displaying the time, date, and temperature with a snap of the fingers or a tap on its top. Where the clock comes up short: the absence of snooze or dimming options (the display turns completely off between snaps or taps) with an LED display that glows a bit too cold and bright for tired or still-waking eyes. If you do like this design, there are several knockoffs—with similar features—for a lot less.

Capello Round Time Table Clock : The Capello is a small and lightweight plug-in alarm clock with an easy-to-read LED display and a stylish gray-fabric front. A USB port in the back works great for overnight charging, but the listed “option to plug in your phone so you can listen to music” didn’t really work for us (with an iPhone). And the clock’s lightweight plastic construction made it easy to knock over. The snooze button isn’t a real button—touches or light taps won’t register. Snoozing the alarm requires a firm, palm-down press across the entire clock. If you’re sensitive to light, you should note that even at the dimmest of this clock’s three settings, the LED display was distracting. We eventually had to turn it face-down.

Alessi Optic 02 B Alarm Clock : This now-discontinued model from Alessi was an example of high design being hampered by low-quality features. This clock was too audible to be a peaceful bedside companion, producing a tick-tock sound so loud that it bothered us even when we were in the next room. No doubt, the Italian space-age design is eye-catching, but having this clock near the bed made the passing of time a torturous, second-by-second affair. And we found its plastic construction flimsy, with tiny and difficult-to-set dial controls that had more in common with a cheap, drugstore alarm clock than something sold for many times the price.

Troubleshooting, how to set alarm clock on mac.

How to set an Alarm Clock on Mac

Modern versions of MacOS have a built-in alarm clock, thanks to the addition of Clock app for Mac. This means that you can set an alarm clock on the Mac, a feature that has been long wanted as a native capability by many Mac users, especially since the alarm clock feature on iPhone has been around for so long. And finally, here it is! Using the Clock app and Alarm functionality is super easy in MacOS, as we’ll demonstrate in this guide.

The only real requirement is that you have the Clock app on your Mac. The Clock app will give you access to the Alarm Clock feature on MacOS, which means you’ll nee MacOS Sonoma, MacOS Ventura, or newer installed.

How to Set the Alarm Clock on Mac with Clock App

Creating and setting an alarm on the Mac is easy with Clock app, here’s all you need to do:

  • Open the Clock app on Mac, it’s found in the /Applications folder or you can access it through Spotlight or Launchpad
  • Click on the “Alarms” tab
  • Click the + plus button in the top right corner of the app

How to set an alarm in the Clock app of Mac

  • Configure your alarm clock for the time you want it to go off for, and click on the days of the week if you’d like the alarm to repeat itself (choose M, T, W, T, F to activate the alarm for the standard 5 day workweek)

How to set an alarm in the Clock app of Mac

  • Give the alarm a name, like “Morning alarm”, and optionally, click on the menu next to “Sound” to customize the alarm clock sound
  • Finally, check the box for “Snooze” if you want to activate the ability to snooze the alarm to give yourself additional time before the alarm sounds off again

There you go, you’ve created your first alarm on the Mac with the Alarm Clock function of Clock app.

Assuming the alarm is active, it will sound the next day. If you set it to repeat, the alarm will go off every day on the days you chose to repeat.

Alarms are very customizable as you can see, so you can set different alarms for different days if you’d like to.

How to Disable an Alarm Clock on Mac

Disabling an alarm is very easy, here’s how you can turn off the alarm clock function for a specific alarm in Clock app:

  • Open the Clock app on Mac
  • Toggle the switch to turn the alarm OFF or ON

The alarm will now be disabled, until you enable it again.

How to Delete an Alarm from Clock on Mac

Removing an alarm is also simple though:

  • Click the “Alarms” tab
  • Hover your mouse cursor over the alarm you wish to delete, then click the microscopic barely visible (X) button in the top left corner of that specific alarm

The alarm then deletes immediately.

Do alarms sync between Mac and iPhone, iPad, other Macs?

Intriguingly, the alarms set on Mac do not sync between other devices that you have, like your iPhone or iPad.

Perhaps that will change or become an option in a future version.

This may also be intentional, because if you have your alarms sync, then every one of your devices may have an alarm going off at the same time, which could be extremely annoying.

Clock App in Newer MacOS Versions Only, But Older Macs Can Set Alarms Too

As mentioned before, the Clock app is only available in modern MacOS versions, including macOS Sonoma, MacOS Ventura, and newer, making this perfect for any new Mac or semi-modern Mac that running the latest operating system versions.

If you are using an earlier version of MacOS or Mac OS X, you can set an alarm on older Mac OS versions with the Reminders app as discussed here , which is a completely different method, but it does work in a similar fashion, and you can use it on much older versions of system software or older Macs if you need to.

Do you use the alarm clock feature of the Clock app on your Mac? What do you think of this capability finally coming to the Mac? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Thanks for this

Where are the wake-up/alert tones stored…it would be nice to be able to use my own sounds which actually have some sort of meaning to me. Do you know if is this possible and if so, how?

I use the alarm on my iPhone almost daily, good to know that it is available on Mac too…

I do use the Timer on Mac pretty often. I wish it had a menubar item and tags, for billing hours and timekeeping purposes.

The Clock app should be sufficient for setting alarms on the Mac for most Mac users, and yes the iPhone and iPad offer this capability too.

For time keeping and focus, and possibly even your billing needs, you may be interested in Be Focused or Tomito, Be Focused is a free app (optional add-ons for $) that sits in the menubar, while Tomito is completely handy. Both have some pretty handy features!

  • Step 1: Determine the Ideal Wake-Up Time

Before you can set your alarm clock , it’s crucial to determine your ideal wake-up time. This will vary depending on your individual schedule, responsibilities, and sleep needs. Consider the following factors when determining your ideal wake-up time:

  • Sleep duration: Aim for a consistent sleep duration that allows you to feel well-rested. The recommended amount of sleep for adults is typically between seven to nine hours. Evaluate your daily routine and commitments to determine how much sleep you need to function optimally.
  • Work or school schedule: Take into account your work or school schedule and any fixed appointments or commitments that require you to wake up at a specific time. Plan your wake-up time accordingly to ensure you have enough time to prepare for the day ahead.
  • Personal preferences: Consider if you are a morning person or a night owl. Some individuals naturally feel more energized in the morning, while others are more productive during the evening hours. Align your wake-up time with your natural energy levels to maximize your productivity and well-being.
  • Daily responsibilities: Take into account any additional responsibilities or activities that require your attention in the morning. This could include exercising, meditating, or spending time with loved ones. Plan your wake-up time to allow for these activities and create a positive start to your day.

By considering these factors, you can determine your ideal wake-up time that strikes a balance between getting enough sleep and fulfilling your daily responsibilities. Once you have a clear understanding of when you need to wake up, you can proceed to the next step of setting your alarm clock.

  • Step 2: Set the Alarm Clock Time

Now that you have determined your ideal wake-up time, it’s time to set the alarm clock time accordingly. Follow these steps to set the time on your alarm clock:

  • Locate the time-setting function: Most alarm clocks have dedicated buttons or knobs for setting the time. Look for buttons labeled “Time,” “Clock,” or similar indicators. If you’re unsure, consult the user manual for your specific alarm clock model.
  • Access the time-setting mode: To set the time, you may need to switch your alarm clock to the time-setting mode. This mode is often indicated by a specific icon or flashing display. Refer to your alarm clock’s instructions to activate the time-setting mode.
  • Adjust the hours: Using the buttons or knobs provided, adjust the hours to match the current time. Some alarm clocks automatically switch between AM and PM, while others require manual adjustment. Take note of the AM/PM indicators to ensure accurate time settings.
  • Adjust the minutes: After setting the hours, proceed to adjust the minutes. Again, use the buttons or knobs to increase or decrease the minutes until they reflect the current time accurately.
  • Verify the time: Once you have set the hours and minutes, double-check the displayed time on your alarm clock. Ensure it matches the current time to avoid any confusion or potential oversleeping.

Setting the alarm clock time accurately is crucial for ensuring that your alarm goes off at the desired wake-up time. Take a moment to confirm the time before proceeding to the next step of configuring the specific alarm settings.

  • Step 3: Choose the Alarm Sound

Now that you have set the time on your alarm clock, it’s time to choose the alarm sound that will wake you up in the morning. The right alarm sound can make a significant difference in how you start your day, so follow these steps to select the perfect sound:

  • Explore the available options: Most modern alarm clocks come with multiple alarm sound options. Take some time to explore the different sounds available on your alarm clock. From gentle melodies to buzzing tones, there are numerous choices to suit your preferences.
  • Consider your waking preferences: Think about the type of sound that will help you wake up in the most pleasant manner. Some people prefer soothing sounds, like nature-inspired melodies or gentle chimes, while others may require a more attention-grabbing sound, such as a loud beep or buzzer. Consider what type of sound will work best for you.
  • Try different sounds: Don’t settle for the first alarm sound you come across. Experiment with different options to find the one that resonates with you the most. Some alarm clocks allow you to preview the sound before selecting it, giving you a chance to hear how it will sound in the morning.
  • Avoid harsh or jarring sounds: While it may be tempting to select a sound that jolts you out of bed, it’s important to prioritize your overall well-being. Harsh or jarring alarm sounds can lead to an unpleasant start to your day and potentially increase anxiety levels. Choose a sound that gently wakes you up and leaves you feeling refreshed.
  • Consider customizable options: If your alarm clock offers customizable options, take advantage of them. Some models allow you to upload your own audio files or connect to music streaming services, giving you the flexibility to wake up to your favorite songs or relaxing tunes.

Remember, the alarm sound you choose should motivate you to wake up without causing undue stress or disturbance. Take your time to select a sound that aligns with your preferences and sets the right tone for a productive day ahead.

  • Step 4: Adjust the Volume

Once you have chosen the perfect alarm sound, it’s time to adjust the volume to ensure it is audible enough to wake you up, but not overly loud to startle you. Here’s how to adjust the volume on your alarm clock:

  • Locate the volume controls: Your alarm clock should have dedicated buttons or knobs for adjusting the volume. Look for indicators such as “Vol,” “Volume,” or sound wave symbols. If you’re unsure, refer to the user manual for your specific alarm clock model.
  • Activate the volume adjustment mode: Some alarm clocks require you to activate a specific mode to adjust the volume. This mode is often indicated by a speaker symbol or similar icon. Check the instructions for your alarm clock to activate the volume adjustment mode.
  • Adjust the volume level: Using the designated buttons or knobs, increase or decrease the volume to your desired level. Start with a lower volume setting and gradually increase it until it is audible enough for you to wake up without being too loud or disruptive.
  • Test the volume: Once you have adjusted the volume, it’s important to test it to ensure it is set to your satisfaction. Activate the alarm and listen to the sound at the desired volume level. Make any necessary adjustments until you are comfortable with the volume.

By adjusting the volume properly, you can ensure that your alarm sound is audible enough to wake you up without startling you or causing discomfort. Find the right balance that allows you to wake up gently and peacefully, setting the tone for a positive start to your day.

When setting your Hetyre alarm clock, make sure to choose a consistent wake-up time to regulate your sleep schedule. Place the clock across the room to avoid hitting the snooze button and get up on time.

  • Step 5: Set Any Additional Features or Preferences

Aside from the basic alarm settings, your alarm clock may offer additional features and preferences that can enhance your wake-up experience. Take a look at the following steps to set any extra features or preferences that your alarm clock provides:

  • Snooze function: If you prefer to have a few extra minutes of sleep before fully waking up, check if your alarm clock has a snooze function. This feature allows you to temporarily silence the alarm and set it to repeat after a specified interval. Set the duration of the snooze period according to your preference.
  • Gradual alarm: Some alarm clocks offer a gradual alarm feature, where the volume starts low and gradually increases over a set period of time. This can help you wake up more gently and gradually, easing you into the day.
  • Lighting options: Certain alarm clocks include lighting options that simulate a sunrise or gradually increase the room’s brightness to mimic the natural awakening process. If available, adjust the lighting settings to suit your preference.
  • Backup power: Check if your alarm clock has a backup power source, such as batteries, in case of a power outage. Set up the backup power feature if desired, ensuring that your alarm will continue functioning even during a power loss.
  • Customization options: Explore any customization options available with your alarm clock. You may be able to personalize the display color, font, or other visual elements to suit your preference and create a more personalized wake-up experience.

Take the time to familiarize yourself with the additional features and preferences offered by your alarm clock. Adjust these settings according to your individual needs and preferences to optimize your wake-up experience and make the most of your alarm clock’s capabilities.

  • Step 6: Test the Alarm Clock

After setting up your alarm clock and configuring all the necessary settings, it’s important to test it to ensure that it functions properly. Testing the alarm clock will give you peace of mind knowing that it will wake you up at the desired time. Follow these steps to test your alarm clock:

  • Set a test alarm: Choose a time a few minutes ahead and set a test alarm. This will allow you to check if the alarm sound is activated, if the volume level is appropriate, and if the alarm is functioning as expected.
  • Observe the alarm behavior: Pay attention to how the alarm activates. Does it start with a gentle fade-in or does it begin abruptly? Observe the volume level and ensure it is neither too low nor too loud for your liking.
  • Check alarm duration: Note the duration of the alarm. Confirm that it continues for the desired length of time before it automatically stops or if it requires manual intervention to turn it off.
  • Assess the effectiveness: Determine if the alarm successfully awoke you or if you felt startled or groggy. Assess how well you responded to the alarm sound and if any adjustments need to be made to enhance your wake-up experience.
  • Make necessary adjustments: Based on your observations and assessment, make any necessary adjustments to the alarm settings. This could include changing the alarm sound, the volume level, or adjusting other features to better suit your waking preferences.

By testing your alarm clock, you can troubleshoot any potential issues or make any needed changes before relying on it for your regular wake-up routine. It ensures that you have confidence in your alarm clock’s functionality and that it will reliably wake you up at the designated time.

  • Step 7: Finalize the Settings and Make Adjustments if Necessary

Now that you have tested your alarm clock and assessed its performance, it’s time to finalize the settings and make any additional adjustments if necessary. Follow these steps to ensure that your alarm clock is perfectly set up:

  • Confirm wake-up time: Double-check that the wake-up time on your alarm clock is accurate. Verify that it aligns with your ideal wake-up time and any schedule or commitments you have.
  • Review alarm sound: Consider if the selected alarm sound is still optimal for waking you up. If you are not completely satisfied with the sound, explore other options available on your alarm clock until you find the perfect fit.
  • Fine-tune volume level: Adjust the volume level of the alarm sound to ensure it is audible enough to wake you up but not excessively loud. Find the right balance that gently rouses you from sleep without causing discomfort.
  • Revisit additional features: Revisit any additional features or preferences offered by your alarm clock. Make sure they are set to your desired settings, such as activating the snooze function, adjusting the lighting options, or any other personalization options.
  • Consider external factors: Take into account any external factors that may affect your wake-up experience, such as a change in your sleep schedule or the need for a different alarm sound on certain days. Adjust the settings accordingly to accommodate these factors.
  • Regularly review and update: As time goes on, periodically review and update your alarm clock settings. As your routine or preferences may change, you may need to make adjustments to ensure the alarm clock continues to meet your needs effectively.

By finalizing the settings of your alarm clock and making any necessary adjustments, you can confidently rely on it to wake you up at the designated time and start your day on the right note. Regularly reviewing and updating the settings will ensure that your alarm clock remains in sync with your lifestyle and preferences.

Setting up your alarm clock effectively is essential for starting your day on the right foot. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can ensure that your alarm clock wakes you up at your desired time and in the most optimal way for you. Here’s a quick recap of the steps:

  • Determine the ideal wake-up time based on your sleep needs, schedule, and personal preferences.

Maintaining a healthy sleep cycle is one of the most effective ways to lock in your hard-earned fitness— recovery is just as important as a good workout , after all—but how might you manage that when your next long run starts tomorrow at 7 a.m., and you’re not a morning person? You could subject yourself to the daily jolt of your phone’s default ringer, or you could take some of the edge off your morning routine with a smart alarm clock.

These gadgets offer voice controls, customizable white noise, and simulated sunrises, among other time- and energy-saving features. Depending on your needs, these tools might be the key to streamlining your morning routine. To keep your search for a quality alarm clock on track, we talked to a sleep researcher about some of the most popular smart clocks available, taking care to suss out which features will benefit you the most—and which sleep health claims stand on shaky ground.

What to Consider

What makes a smart alarm clock smart.

When you set up a standard alarm clock , there isn’t much to it—you set the time, your alarm times, and which alarm sound you want. But while some sleepers might appreciate that simplicity, others have a more involved morning routine (or bedtime ritual) that a smart alarm clock can simplify for the better.

Many smart alarm clocks pair with your other devices so you can play music, charge your phone, or get real-time weather and news updates without starting your day with a device in hand. Some even communicate with the rest of your smart home, so you can turn on your lights or turn up the thermostat without clambering around in the dark for a switch.

To combat the inorganic wake-up call of a standard pre-dawn alarm, some smart clocks also use baked-in software or companion smartphone apps to dial in your alarm preferences on a more personal level. Some, like the Hatch Restore 2 , even provide a simulated sunrise, which can make getting out of bed feel easier when you enter the darker months of the year.

Can Smart Alarms Improve Your Sleep?

Some brands make bold claims about how their smart alarm clocks will improve your sleep quality or duration, especially as features like sunrise alarms and brown noise flood the discussion. To make sense of all the jargon and buzzwords, we spoke with Robin M. Tucker, PhD, RD, FAND , an associate professor at Michigan State University who researches the effects poor sleep has on other facets of our lives.

Her thoughts on most of these claims are straightforward: “The research isn’t really there,” she says, admitting that while sunrise alarms are pleasant, there isn’t peer-reviewed research that proves that sunrise alarms improve the quality of your sleep, or that they’re healthier for your brain than traditional alarms. “I do have a sunrise alarm,” Tucker says. “It has pros and cons… It makes getting out of bed when it’s dark outside much easier, but I can also roll over and ignore it.”

She also suggests that the journey to finding your best alarm clock is a personal one, and trying several options (including free apps on your phone) is often the best way to beat the placebo effect and truly understand what works for you. In general, features like sunrise alarms work best as a means of providing a soothing ambiance per your own needs and preferences, but they aren’t an end-all solution to a quarrelsome sleep cycle, according to Tucker.

The same goes for different colors of white noise, such as brown or pink noise, which supposedly match various sound and color frequencies to provide different pitches of ambient sound. But you don’t need to dig that deep into the science to know which one works for you—it’s more a matter of trying a few options.

“I’m a big proponent of white noise for people trying to sleep in noisy environments, but there isn’t a lot of convincing data that a particular noise color gives you substantially better effects,” Tucker said. “It’s mostly down to what sounds the most soothing to you.”

There’s also something to be said for the peace of mind—you might sleep better knowing for sure that your alarm will wake you when it’s time to get ready for work, or fall asleep faster with the help of white noise, thus helping you feel more rested in the morning in turn. In all, a smart alarm clock likely won’t fix all of your problems with sleep, but it can help address some challenges like trying to wake up in a dark room, trying to sleep through disruptive noises, or being anxious that your alarm won’t go off.
