Best Sunrise Alarm Clock (2026): Hatch, Lumie

The article compares tested sunrise alarm clocks for people who want a gentler way to wake during dark winter mornings. It recommends Hatch’s Sleep Clock for combining a sunrise alarm with sleep tracking, and names the Lumie Bodyclock Luxe 700FM as another favourite.

Sunrise alarms gradually brighten over a chosen period, typically 10 minutes to an hour, to mimic daylight and help signal wake-up time; some also dim in the evening or play sounds. The guide was updated in October 2026 with new models, pros and cons, and current links and prices. It advises choosing features based on needs such as a wind-down routine, a bright bedside lamp, a wider choice of sounds or app control; the Hatch Sleep Clock costs $249.
