Dreamzy Sunrise Review: A Sunrise Alarm That Wakes You With Light Instead of Noise?
Dreamzy Sunrise
Dark winter mornings and a blaring phone alarm are a rough way to start the day. Dreamzy Sunrise slowly brightens like a sunrise before it makes a sound, and dims like a sunset at night. I used it for a month of early mornings.
What it is
A bedside lamp and alarm clock in one. It brightens gradually over the half hour before your alarm, offers nature sounds or radio, and can fade down at night to help you wind down.
How it works
Light tells your body clock it is morning. Waking up to gradually increasing light means you are already partly awake when the sound starts, which feels far less jarring than a phone alarm in a dark room.
The verdict
Mornings genuinely felt easier and I stopped hitting snooze. The sunset mode is a nice bonus for reading in bed. If you wake before the sun for most of the year, this is a small change with a big effect.
What we liked
- Gradual light instead of a jolt
- Sunset mode for winding down
- Nature sounds and FM radio
- Doubles as a reading lamp
What to keep in mind
- Needs to be on the nightstand facing you
- Setup buttons take a minute to learn
