There ought to be a word for that moment when you draw back the curtains in the morning and recoil under the withering explosion of sunlight. That horror-filled moment that sharply cuts a light bedroom from a dark one, when all you want is to slowly bring your consciousness to life and the day instead opens the Ark of the Covenant right in your face.
Almost all of us need more sleep, but modern humans keep weird hours and no longer go to bed or rise with our natural sleep cycles. Sunrise alarms are one way of coping. They simulate gradual sunsets at night and gradual sunrises in the morning to help you fall asleep and wake up more naturally by tricking your biological hardware. I’ve tested the best sunrise alarm clocks—and a few of the worst—on the market. These are my favorites.
