What are Bedside Clocks? Bedside clocks are a typical apparatus in our bedrooms, that is designed to give us an alarm at a specified time. The primary function of these clocks is to awaken someone from their sleep at night or short naps in the afternoon. During the past decade, with the increase of popularity of mobile devices, we have become accustomed to using our phones not only to call and send messages but also as an alarm for us to wake up when we have to. Even the simple idea of using a special device on our bedside table seems a bit obsolete. However, there are a number of clocks that serve as alarms and can also help you with some sounds and vibrations to improve your sleep cycles. There are also those that offer various functions to wake you up more easily if you are one of those who have a heavy sleep and more than once you have fallen asleep for not hearing the alarm on your cell phone. It’s essential to get only the best bedside table that will adapt to your lifestyle, your budget and the hours you want to sleep.

Is it really good to get up with a bedside clock? It is very difficult for most people to wake up in the morning and we do it because the alarm tells us that it is time to get up and start the day, but nevertheless there are those who have the power to wake up and open their eyes just a moment before the scheduled time and without the need for the alarm to sound. This is due to what is known as 'circadian rhythm' or 'biological clock’, by which our body has synchronized with our needs and routines. The body tells us when it is time to eat providing us with the sensation of being hungry (we usually listen to the roar of our stomach and if we go out of the hour we even get in a bad mood), it also indicates that the time has come to lie down making us enter sleep (and yawns) the same thing happens to us when we get up to start our journey: we wake up (sometimes)
