For all of you that have said ‘with…..’ clear your minds! I’m talking alarm clocks!
Many of us still have the good old alarm clock, bells on top that shock you out of your peaceful slumber and start your day like a nervous wreck. How much better would it be to wake up to the dulcet tones of your favourite radio presenter?
There are many radio alarm clocks and there are loads of features available. You can choose a straightforward alarm clock with a radio that you can set to bring on the radio to wake you. Others include CD players or MP3 players as well. Some have projectors that will shine the time on to the ceiling so you don’t even have to turn over. Others have double alarms so that two of you can get up at different times and weekend modes so you can have a lay-in.
Of course, if you really want to go to town, there are other features like the sunrise lamp that gently brings you light twenty minutes before the alarm goes off. There are radios that get louder so you can start off gently and the sound increases to wake you gently (this one’s a bit like a mother). If you want to see your loved ones when you wake then you can have a digital photo frame along with your Clock Radio Alarm. There are even radio alarm clocks that come with simulated natural songs, your very own dawn chorus! If all this is a bit tame for your busy lifestyle, you can get a radio alarm clock that has an LCD screen for you to have pictures of each of your loved ones with a voicemail box for each of them, so you can issue instructions for the day!
An old favourite is making a comeback, the teasmade, so you can wake up to a nice cup of tea.
We have a lot of choice now, on how we wake up, so no need to start the day grumpy. And all this comes at a very reasonable cost, just think if you bought all the elements of a Clock Radio Alarm clock separately and it would soon add up especially if you choose one with a light option.
All in all, a better start to the day.
