BEST FOR GETTING TO CLASS ON TIME: Wake Up Light Sunrise Alarm Clock — $33.98

If getting up in the morning and being on time to those 8 a.m. classes is a struggle, a wake-up light can help you (or your kid) become more of a morning person. It simulates sunrise in the morning, waking you up with a warm light that gets gradually brighter, along with a few different calming nature sounds (so you'll never be jolted awake by a beeping alarm clock again).
