Waking up is hard, especially as the mornings grow darker and colder. I've never been a morning person, but one device has helped me get closer to becoming one: a sunrise alarm clock. After first trying a sunrise alarm clock about 10 years ago to brighten my windowless bedroom (new grad life), I've since tried many more models to find the best and brightest—literally—to help rouse you in the morning without feeling like the walking dead.

The downside is that these devices aren't cheap, especially the ones that actually pack all the features you could want. If that's what's holding you back from snagging your own Hatch or Philips sunrise alarm, good news: Cyber Monday is here to help you. Many sunrise alarm clocks we recommend are on sale right now, so there's no better time to buy one for yourself (or as a gift this holiday season!)

While this lamp is small, the reading mode was still bright enough to read by.

Lumie's sunrise clocks are great—my favorite is the Lumie Luxe 700FM, but the Shine 300 is pretty similar and it's on sale right now. It's a little smaller and doesn't have the five radio station buttons, but besides that, it packs the same features: bright enough to be a bedside lamp, a nice sleek form with a stylish fabric base, and has both a sunrise and sunset option. Lumie's clocks only show military time, but you get used to it quickly and it's worth the trade-off of these great sunrise alarms.

Everyone asks me about the Hatch Restore 2 when they hear I test sunrise alarms. It's a great, stylish little device, but I ...
