DreamSky Portable Digital Alarm Clock

This DreamSky Alarm Clock, a recommended no-frills option, is now marked down to a $14 deal at Amazon — its lowest price ever.

One solid way to boost your sleep quality? The general advice is to leave your phone in the other room. But if you rely on your phone’s alarm in the morning, that’s easier said than done.

An easy-to-use alarm clock without any bells and whistles to get in the way, the DreamSky is simple, durable and highly readable, and it will get you out of bed in the morning with a loud beep that isn’t too startling.

This alarm clock earned the runner-up spot for best alarm clock in our testing. It helps you start each new day a little more mindfully; after all, breaking the habit of checking your email first thing in the morning is way easier when that’s not something your alarm clock can do. The 2-inch display is easy to read when your eyes are still in squint mode, and if you think the clock looks aggressively bright in the Amazon image, rest assured that you can dim the numbers.

The features are delightfully basic, with a nine-minute snooze and an adjustable alarm volume. If you must keep your phone in the bedroom, a USB charging port is built for that.
