Philips Wake-up Light

Philips Wake-up Light

The Philips Wake-up Light does exactly as its name implies: it wakes you up by gradually increasing the light over a period of 30 minutes, mimicking natural sunlight.

Unlike Zuckerberg's sleep box and the Casper Glow, the Philips Wake-up Light can combine lighting and sound effects to create an alarm. It was originally $139.99, but it's on sale for $104.99 right now.

While this device does show the time, it's a bit smaller and less noticeable than the clocks on some other competing devices.

iHome Zenergy Aroma + Light + Sound Therapy

iHome Zenergy Aroma + Light + Sound Therapy

Accessory maker iHome's device is ideal for helping you fall asleep rather than waking you up. It's probably best for those who want to get a good night's worth of stress-free, uninterrupted sleep, rather than those seeking an alarm.

The $99 Zenergy Aroma offers a number of lighting effects, sounds, and aromas that it says will relieve stress and make it easier to relax. There's a flickering candle mode and a breathe mode, which emits a slowly decreasing red pulse. The device comes with a remote control.

Like the Casper Glow, there's no visible clock on this device.
