Hatch Restore Sound Machine ($170)

This trendy alarm clock offers a unique combination of features. Not only does it function as a sound machine, but it also simulates a gradual sunrise through its brightening light that gently rouses you from sleep for a more natural waking experience.

Editor Quote: "I set my alarm to go off automatically at 7:30 a.m. Monday through Friday, and sure enough, I've woken peacefully every day at that time. Hatch's sunrise alarm (which you can alter the color of) slowly rises as the sun would, and you can choose from a list of sounds to gently wake you. I've really enjoyed this feature for kick-starting my day, as it doesn't feel as intense as a typical alarm does." — Haley Lyndes, assistant editor, Commerce
