“It’s just a fact of life: most people just hate waking up. For the majority of us getting up each morning isn’t easy, depending on the amount of sleep that you have gotten. But this new alarm promises to make life slightly easier, thanks to its voice-controlled features and lighting-oriented wake up technology which may ease the stress of facing a new day.

One of the best alarm clocks that is available is the Philips Wake-Up Light. Instead of relying on annoying sounds, it uses light, which triggers a hormonal response in our bodies, which in turn wakes us up. However, the only problem is its price.

A feature that is really neat on this Moshi Alarm Clock is that you control it with your voice. In essence, you can tell it to shut up in the mornings and it will go quiet. While this might not be the best idea for people who talk in their sleep, it will work well for most of us, who just want a bit more time in bed.

This alarm clock lets you do quite a bunch of things with your voice, from programming the alarm, the time, the radio presets, and a few other things. It’s available for $70 over at the Moshi store.
