The Top Clock Radios for Sleep

RCA RPC100

$30.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the clock has a large, easy to read face with a subtle light, which means no struggle to read the time when you're waking up, and no intrusion when you're trying to fall sleep.
from www.amazon.com
the big numbers and buttons are great, especially for people with glasses (not worn while sleeping).

Oregon Scientific Color Changing Projector Clock

$75.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the only funky thing about it (projector works great) is the projector sleep/lock.
from www.amazon.com
the alarm itself is a quiet beep that would not wake a deep sleeper and you cant control its volume, but its exactly what i like.

it's like sleeping on a terrible cheap mattress, really--why torture yourself?
from www.amazon.com
instead, i received a very fine sounding radio which we will enjoy for hours when we can sleep in.
from www.amazon.com
the lcd can be dimmed to neer off so sleeping should'nt be a problem.
from www.amazon.com

Homedics SS6500

$61.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this is easily remedied because the system has three light settings and the only way to sleep is to use the off setting.
from www.amazon.com
i like the smaller size and i have always wanted a sound machine to help me sleep.
from www.amazon.com
i noticed that i sleep better because when i do get up to go to the bathroom at night, i can't see the time so i am not thinking about how much longer i can sleep.
from www.amazon.com
my other dislike: i like to listen to the nature sounds on a low noise level while i go to sleep.
from www.amazon.com
however, the lights on the unit are too much for someone who likes it dark when sleeping.

Teac R2

$78.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
one big complaint, though: the light on the clock is so bright that it has to be covered for sleeping, which defeats the purpose of a bed-side clock radio.
from www.amazon.com
one thing-if you need it really dark for sleeping you may not like these - the display is a pretty blue but gives off enough light that you don't want it facing you - it's pretty much a night light.
from www.amazon.com
under normal circumstances i simply turn the radio slightly away from the bed and sleep has not been affected.
from www.amazon.com
this is nice for heavy sleepers like me.
from www.amazon.com
since this was a bed-side clock radio, i needed an illuminated display that was able to be seen at all times (without pressing a backlight), but wasn't so bright that it would disturb us while

Tivoli Model Three

from www.amazon.com
for example, you have to remember to turn it on when you go to sleep, since it's a 12-hour clock.
from www.amazon.com
the alarm setting is super-simple as is the sleep function, although i would have liked a little more than the 20 minutes the sleep give you- but this just requires a simple touch to turn the alarm
from www.amazon.com
it does not bother me when i am trying to sleep and i am sensitive to such distractions.
from www.amazon.com
i like it dark when i sleep, and the light in this unit is bright.
from www.amazon.com
as a sleeper very sensitive to light i regret to report that (a) the clock's backlight is too damn bright and (b) there is no way to dim or shut off this backlight.

from www.amazon.com
when i have trouble sleeping, i hate being able to see what time it is!
from www.amazon.com
it's meant to be operated in the dark and by a sleepy head.
from www.amazon.com
it will dim down to nearly off which is nice if you are sensitive to light while trying to sleep.
from www.amazon.com
i also like the sleep function that can be set for 60, 45, 30, or 15 minutes of radio to play while you fall asleep.
from www.amazon.com
i bought this alarm clock mainly to let me have a clock radio that i could use the sleep function on and have input to my ipod.

at night i put a cover over the clock so that i can sleep.

from D from San Jose, CA, www.circuitcity.com
the blue light from the clock was bright enough to light the entire bedroom...for those troubled sleepers.

Timex T309T Nature Sounds Triple Alarm

it's also nice that the station i wake up to can be different from what the radio is tuned to the rest of the time (for example, i can go to sleep to smooth jazz and have the alarm set to wake me up
from www.amazon.com
easy to use, 18 memories for radio stations and the light of the display can be dimmed so it will let you sleep.
from www.amazon.com
it's not a problem since i sleep with it on my nightstand two feet from my head.
from www.amazon.com
you don't have to worry about turning off the alarm to sleep in on the weekends and then have to remember to turn it back on sunday nights.

Thomson RP5600

$33.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.walmart.com
the fact that you can go to sleep to a cd and wake up to a different track on the cd is great!rca thought of just about everything a consumer would want when they made this product.
from www.walmart.com
sleep function allows you to listen to the radio or cd for a period of time with an automatic turn off so you can listen as you fall asleep and still wake to the alarm.
from www.walmart.com
this one dims perfectly and does not bother me when i am going to sleep.
from www.walmart.com
the alarm does have a battery backup for use if the power goes out when you're sleeping.
from www.amazon.com
it also has "sleep" mode which allows you to listen to the radio or cd with an automatic off so that you can still wake to the alarm in the morning.

like other reviewers, i don't like my heart to pound in my throat when i wake up, music puts me back to sleep, npr makes me wonder sleepily who's talking in my room...
from www.amazon.com
optional flash and beep for the hard sleeper.
from www.amazon.com
now i am a light sleeper and even the quietest alarm would shock me awake.
from www.amazon.com
i'm really sensitive to light in my bedroom when i'm trying to sleep.
from www.amazon.com
now, to be fair, if you happen to be a light sleeper in a small space, and you're facing the clock with the bulb aimed squarely at your eyelids, and you happen to respond to its rather anemic glow,

Sangean RS330

from www.amazon.com
it should be noted that i sleep in a very quite room and i'm very sensitive to sound.
from www.amazon.com
maybe they consider this a protection against over-sleeping, but it is pretty awful.
from www.amazon.com
it was a perfect match for my habit of sleeping with the earphone plugged into my ear.
from www.amazon.com
we don't need all of that on a regular basis for two alarms, but it is great to know that you can customize virtually everything for the needs of two sleepers.
from www.amazon.com
and difficult for even the sleepiest user to confuse.

from www.qvc.com
i didn't want to spend a fortune because i wasn't sure if i would even like the projection plus i didnt want the brightness to be an issue, i need the room darker to sleep comfortably...
from www.amazon.com
my many out of town visits to my friends house, sleeping in a dark room without a window, led me to search for a clock i could just turn over in bed and view.....well, i found it and this is it.
from www.amazon.com
one usually doesn't sleep during the day!!
from www.amazon.com
if you like bright light in your room while sleeping then the standard digital clock is for you (i can't sleep like this)
from www.amazon.com
1) - if you set the "sleep" button to fall asleep listening to the radio, you cannot set the clock to wake to the buzzer.

i love...it always wakes me up...my brother wanted me to buy him one because no clock wakes him up(and he is a deep sleeper)
from www.amazon.com
the power goes out, but the only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the very bright display, i have never taken mine off the "dim" setting, you must need sunglasses to sleep with the "normal" setting.
from www.amazon.com
the buzzer starts out low and then increases in volume so that there is no way that you can sleep through it.
from www.amazon.com
yes, the display is a bit too bright, even on the dim setting - but it doesn't disturb my ability to sleep.
from www.amazon.com
1) its way too bright, even in dim mode - i have to turn this away to sleep, so i can't even read it
