Bit of a random one but anybody have a decent, modern one?

Not the aul 90s lloytron yokes. Something a little more innovative. Looking at one on amazon that has the light gradually filling the room in the morn "so you wake up fresher" bullsh*t etc etc 

Hate waking up and having to check my phone for the time and would like something a little techie.

I bought one recently, was thinking of buying a decent one one maybe with a built in speaker and phone holder or something, but then thought f**k it sure I could buy all the techie stuff separate or already had them so went with one from Argos for €8.50!

I bought one of those alarm clocks with the wake up lights on them for €20 on amazon a few months back.Also has an FM radio works grand but dunno if the wake light makes any bit of difference.

How about buying a google home or Amazon Echo?

I have Echo and you can just ask it the time and tell it to set an alarm for you.Tunein radio and Spotify account can be linked to it for music.Link RTE news,Sky ,BBC for news and sports headlines.

The modern phone has in built app called clock usually, in the app there are alarm settings. 

What I like about it is, it makes the noise an alarm does and you can change the times to suit when you need to wake up, the modern phone also has the time on it, so it is actually an alarm.

An Amazon Echo dot and a cheap speaker make a decent alarm clock which you can just tell when to wake you and which Spotify or similar playlist to wake you with instead of the beep beep beep of a phone

I have got into the habit of turning off the phone, laptop and telly when I am going to sleep and while my insomnia had improved anyway, this has certainly helped. 

I find it weird when a ticket machine at a train station tells you to "enjoy your journey", I think a small speaker talking back to me would have me looking for the Diazepam.

An alarm clock to do what the clock on the wall in the room does. Stop the world i wanna get off. 

I'm sick of waiting for my frozen food to defrost. If only there was a technological advancement to aid my struggle......
