These \u201cdawn simulation\u201d devices glow with gradually intensifying brightness as your wake-up time approaches, kickstarting your circadian rhythm before you get out of bed. For many users, this results in a happier, healthier start to the day.<\/p>\n<p>Not all sunrise alarm clocks are made equal \u2013 for instance, only some are bright enough to be medically certified as light-therapy devices for Sad (seasonal affective disorder) and other disorders. We\u2019ve indicated the two alarms that have this certification in their specs below.<\/p>\n<p>I awoke with 10 of the best-rated wake-up lights from Lumie, Beurer, Philips, Dreamegg, Momcozy, Blueair and Lexon to find out which would make the most difference to my mornings. As a lifelong reluctant riser, I\u2019ve found the experience of testing these devices a gamechanger \u2013 in fact, I\u2019m now using one daily.

I\u2019ve often felt lousy first thing, after waking up to a minutes-long medley of smartphone alarms.<\/p>\n<p>When, at last, I drag myself out of bed, I frequently spend the day reviewing all kinds of gadgets, from Sad lamps to electric heaters. It\u2019s a freelance job I\u2019ve been privileged to do since 2017 \u2013 and as we tumbled dimly into 2025, the Filter gave me one of my most quietly life-improving assignments yet: reviewing sunrise alarm clocks. I tested three additional models in winter 2025\/26, and one of these has emerged as my favourite of all.<\/p>\n<p>The extent to which these gadgets have improved my mornings has surprised me \u2013 although it was greater in some cases than others. Frankly, I\u2019d like other groggy wakers to feel the same benefit, and my reviews are written and ranked with this in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Some brands did not want the sunrise alarm clocks I sourced for testing back, so those will be donated for fundraising to Cat Action Trust 1977, a small national charity dedicated to the welfare of feral cats.<\/p>\n<h2>How I tested<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Pete Wise testing sunrise alarm clocks.

I considered the brightness of each alarm, how close the glow felt to real sunlight, and the audio quality. Above all, I reflected on how lively and refreshed I felt after waking up with each one.<\/p>\n<p>Many sunrise alarm clocks also have a sundown function, so I used this where available too. I also tried using each sunrise alarm clock as a reading light, to help me finish the day \u2013 as well as start it \u2013 smartphone-free.<\/p>\n<p>Some sunrise alarm clocks go even further, with additional features such as app operability, multiple alarm profiles and mood lighting. To ensure a thorough review of each sunrise alarm clock, I played around with every possible customisation option and functionality.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>The best sunrise alarm clocks in 2026<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Three sunrise alarms on a bedside table\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/6962725137e067020d6957ef428d770114c33dc0\/143_0_4338_3472\/master\/4338.jpg?width=445&amp;dpr=1&amp;s=none&amp;crop=none\" width=\"445\" height=\"356.1641309359152\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\"><span><\/span><span>The Lumie Bodyclock Glow 150, the Blueair Mini Restful sunrise clock air purifier and the Lexon Mina Sunrise.<\/span> Photograph: Pete Wise\/The Guardian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><em>Best sunrise alarm clock overall:<\/em><br \/> Lumie Bodyclock Glow 150<\/h2>\n<figure><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/268f50df762aa4b9b64698bc61f3eb8e76757cd7\/0_0_725_725\/725.jpg?width=328&amp;dpr=1&amp;s=none&amp;crop=none\" width=\"328\" height=\"328\" loading=\"eager\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>LumieBodyclock Glow 150from <strong>\u00a386.99<\/strong><span>\u00a391.63 at Lumie<\/span><span>\u00a386.99 at Amazon<\/span><strong>What we love<\/strong><br \/>Superior sunrise simulation and pleasant alarm tones<strong>What we don\u2019t love<\/strong><br \/>It\u2019s relatively expensive<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Lumie Bodyclock Glow 150\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/f67e1c9fa9c67d869bb4395745e095b738577550\/500_0_4000_4000\/master\/4000.jpg?width=445&amp;dpr=1&amp;s=none&amp;crop=none\" width=\"445\" height=\"445\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span>\u00a391.63 at Lumie<\/span><\/figure>\n<p><span>\u00a386.99 at Amazon<\/span><\/figure>\n<p>Lumie is the brand that pioneered consumer-grade sunrise alarm clocks in the early 1990s, and that pedigree still shines through.<\/p>\n<p>Equipped with a comprehensive set of wake-up sounds and medical-grade sunrise simulation, the Bodyclock Glow 150 is the best sunrise alarm clock of the many I\u2019ve tested. It comes at a premium price, but could pay dividends for your sleep cycle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why we love it<br \/><\/strong>The sunrise effect is among the most convincing I\u2019ve experienced, rivalling the less fully featured (but slightly cheaper) Lumie Bodyclock Spark 100, which is reviewed below. It feels like waking to daylight, or emerging into a clearing after walking through dense woodland.<\/p>\n<p>I found this model easy to control and configure via the five buttons surrounding the digital display. All of the personalisations that really matter are available, including sunrise light intensity and duration.<\/p>\n<p>Crucially, there\u2019s a great selection of alarm tones to choose between \u2013 not always the case with Lumie models \u2013 ranging from the wonderfully gentle to the brusquely rousing. I preferred \u201ctropical birds\u201d and \u201cwaves\u201d to \u201cbeep\u201d or \u201csteam train\u201d, although I enjoyed imagining a train enthusiast waking contentedly to the latter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s a shame that \u2026 <\/strong>there\u2019s only one colour available: black (with a white lamp).

The sound quality is impressive, with plenty of mid-range frequencies and a touch of bass. It\u2019s nicely balanced and not at all jarring.<\/p>\n<p>The Sunrise Echo creates a lilting light effect, rather than intensively light-therapising the sleeper as some higher-powered models do. It was easy to set up and customise the alarm using the well-labelled control buttons around the shoulder of the alarm clock. It was a little harder though, through a fug of sleepiness, to adjust the screen and light brightness via their respective dials on the rear of the device. Nonetheless, the Momcozy Sunrise Echo is an excellent, accessible option for users who don\u2019t want a very bright wake-up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s a shame that \u2026<\/strong> a few nice-to-have features are absent, including FM radio and multiple alarms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Certification:<\/strong> none<br \/><strong>Modes:<\/strong> sunrise alarm, bedside light<br \/><strong>Footprint:<\/strong> W19 x D8.5cm <br \/><strong>Features: <\/strong>night light (seven colours), sleep aid sounds, digital clock display, adjustable sunrise duration<br \/><strong>Brightness settings:<\/strong> 30<br \/><strong>Sunrise duration:<\/strong> 30 minutes<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/5debf5f31c482e6bc88444afcc27896aebbeb163\/0_0_725_725\/725.jpg?width=328&amp;dpr=1&amp;s=none&amp;crop=none\" width=\"328\" height=\"328\" loading=\"eager\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>MomcozySunrise Echo<strong>\u00a347.99<\/strong><span>\u00a347.99 at Ebebek<\/span><strong>What we love<\/strong><br \/>Broad selection of lilting alarm tones<strong>What we don\u2019t love<\/strong><br \/>The controls are a little fiddly<\/figure>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><em>Best sunrise alarm clock for heavy sleepers:<\/em><br \/> Lumie Bodyclock Spark 100<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/9ae87d905310f0fc896520265c44410e05bbd766\/0_0_725_725\/725.jpg?width=328&amp;dpr=1&amp;s=none&amp;crop=none\" width=\"328\" height=\"328\" loading=\"eager\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>LumieBodyclock Spark 100from <strong>\u00a388.20<\/strong><span>\u00a388.49 at Healf<\/span><span>\u00a388.20 at Amazon<\/span><strong>What we love<\/strong><br \/>Outstanding sunrise simulation<strong>What we don\u2019t love<\/strong><br \/>Lack of gentler alarm sounds<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Lumie Bodyclock Spark 100\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/c3a961ed0262c0b4c3018a3ef317505a7538a1c0\/587_0_4000_4000\/master\/4000.jpg?width=445&amp;dpr=1&amp;s=none&amp;crop=none\" width=\"445\" height=\"445\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span>\u00a388.49 at Healf<\/span><\/figure>\n<p><span>\u00a388.20 at Amazon<\/span><\/figure>\n<p>I woke up feeling great when I used the medical-grade Lumie Bodyclock Spark 100, which bathes the room in gradually intensifying, sun-like light for a set period before the alarm goes off.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why we love it<br \/><\/strong>The device is supposed to realistically imitate the lightening shades of a sunrise \u2013 and it does so more convincingly than any other brand\u2019s sunrise alarm clock.

Sunrise alarm clocks tend to be far less bright than the average Sad lamp. With that said, the effect of light on our circadian rhythms has been shown to peak around the onset of dawn and early in the morning \u2013 so a mellow sunrise alarm may provide disproportionate benefits.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been diagnosed with seasonal affective disorder and are looking for a light therapy device, it\u2019s best to ask your GP which product to use and how to get the most benefit. Sunrise alarm clocks that are classified as medical devices (indicated below each product above) are more likely to suit users seeking a therapeutic effect than models with no medical certifications.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why does it benefit us to wake with the sun?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Getting up in the dark can feel awful, which makes a lot of sense because our bodies require light to wake up properly.<\/p>\n<p>Humans are diurnal, which means we\u2019ve evolved to be more wakeful, energetic and capable of chasing mammoths over vast distances during daytime. When the brain recognises increasing light at dawn, it sends signals around other regions of the brain and to other organs to calibrate bodily processes including temperature regulation, hormone secretion and metabolism. And when darkness falls, the brain prepares us for sleep \u2013 a helpful effect that many of us compromise by looking at bright smartphone or laptop screens.<\/p>\n<p>These effects, which repeat every 24 hours, are our circadian rhythms. That is derived from the Latin words <em>circa<\/em> (approximately) and <em>diem<\/em> (day), meaning around a day.<\/p>\n<p>So, the sun is the original and best alarm clock \u2013 activating our minds and bodies with light, rather than startling us awake with sound. Think of your sunrise alarm as a plucky stand-in to rely upon during the star\u2019s shorter winter shifts.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>In the market for some new bed linen?
