Phillips Wake-up light

Tired of waking up to a grating alarm buzzer? Give the Philips Wake-Up Light ($200) a try. Designed to wake you with lights and tunes.

This combination bedside lamp and iPod/iPhone dock gradually wakes you up using light for a more pleasant experience, and also features a built-in dock to let you awaken or just play your favorite music.

When it’s time to go to bed, the light works its magic in reverse, gradually dimming the light and sound until you’ve drifted off for the night.
