Bedtime

Sweet dreams are your respite from the day's stress—so a bedside clock should be discreetly elegant yet spirited enough to rouse you gently and thoroughly when morning comes.

This neat, super-legible little tool lights up at night. BAI, $28.
A square, silver-finish molded plastic digital is self-setting. Philippe Starck for Oregon Scientific, $63.
It not only tells time but charges your iPod and wakes you up painlessly to the tunes you love. Fashionation, $40.
