If 'become a morning person' is on your list of new year's resolutions, you're not alone. Many people strive to become one of those super humans who workout before work or turn up at the office in high spirits with a coffee in hand. This is where the best sunrise alarm clocks can help.

Unlike tinny-sounding alarms, sunrise alarm clocks take a calm, gentle approach to waking you up. They gradually light up at your desired wake up time making it easier for you to emerge from the comfort of your bed on dark, cold winter mornings.
