Gift Guide: Philips Wake-Up Dock Light

Philips HF3490 Wake-Up Light (Gadget Head, Under $200)

The iPod docking functionality definitely takes a back seat here. Instead, the Philips' HF3490 Wake-up Light ($199) tries to make life a bit easier by gradually increasing in intensity to ease users out of their slumber, with 20 shades of light to push through those heavy eyelids. The alarm comes with four preset nature sounds, as well as the aforementioned iPod/iPhone docking action to go for the ears in case the serene approach doesn't work. Last but not least, a "dusk simulation" is made for getting overworked, overstimulated brains to sleep, gradually dimming the light and sounds to send tired folks to that happy place.
