Nobody likes to be jolted out from bed from the shrill rings of an alarm clock - most of us would agree that opening our eyes to soft rays of sunshine and ears to the chirping of spring's first robin is a much more pleasant manner to start the day. The Verilux Rise & Shine alarm clock will increase the brightness of the lamp in stages, along with a collection of nature sounds (Song Birds, Harbor Cove, New England Village, Mountain Brook, Ocean Surf, Woodland Forest, Spring Rain, and Gentle Breeze). This unique alarm clock comes in Ivory or Graphite colors and retails for $149.99. Heavy sleepers ought to skip this one and concentrate on getting a really loud alarm clock instead.
