Groov-e Light Curve wake up clock radio, £39.99, Argos

If you’re looking for a sunrise alarm that won’t break the bank, this budget model fits the bill. The sunrise and sunset simulation increases and decreases the light’s brightness, offering a relaxing 10-, 20- or 30-minute lighting cycle. There are eight sounds that you can use as an alarm, while the built in FM radio means that you can wake up to the news or your favourite station. We love: The mood light function, which moves through seven colours or can be set to your preferred shade.
