In simple terms, an alarms clock is a timekeeping device designed to wake a person or alert them at a specific time using sound, vibration, or light. While traditionally known as a bedside clock with a ringing bell, modern alarms clocks now include digital displays, radio functions, sunrise lighting, smartphone connectivity, and customisable alarm tones.
Here’s why Australians still rely on an alarms clock: it provides a dedicated, distraction-free wake-up solution that supports healthy sleep routines. The main reason people prefer an alarms clock over using a phone alarm is improved sleep hygiene, reduced screen exposure before bed, and more consistent morning habits.
In simple terms, an alarms clock is a daily life essential that helps manage time, structure routines, and improve sleep and productivity.
Alarms clocks are available in a wide range of designs to suit different lifestyles, bedrooms, and interior styles.
