I’ve been using a sunrise alarm clock for a week — how it’s making early wake-ups way easier

Sunrise alarm clocks might be just what the (sleep) doctor ordered at this time of year, helping you transition from bright summer mornings to dark ones where waking up is harder. The gradual light of a body clock is designed to mimic dawn, helping our bodies to naturally respond to the simulated sunrise to wake up easier.

I've spent the past week testing a popular budget sunrise alarm clock, the HomeLabs Sunrise Alarm Clock, to see if it really does work. Here I look at how easy it is to set up, what features it offers, and whether it's effective or not at helping me to wake up easier on darker mornings.
