REACHER Wood Wake Up Light Alarm Clock with Sunrise Simulation, White Noise & Night Light
Product description
The essentials
If you want a gentler way to wake up (rather than relying purely on a harsh alarm tone), the REACHER wood wake up light alarm clock is built around a sunrise-style light change. It also pulls double duty as a bedside sound machine with 26 natural-sounding sleep aid options and a night light with eight colours.
On paper it reads like a “one bedside gadget” solution: sunrise simulation for mornings, soothing sounds for winding down, and dimmable display control so you’re not stuck with a bright clock in the dark. It’s not going to replace a full home smart setup, but for everyday bedroom use it can be surprisingly practical.
Key features that matter day to day
The sunrise simulation is the headline feature. The light gradually changes over a set 5–60 minutes to help you wake more naturally. There’s also an alarm sound section with eight alarm sounds to choose from, plus an OFF option that focuses only on the sunrise light (useful if you’re sensitive to sound, or if someone else is sleeping nearby).
For evening wind-down, it includes 26 soothing sounds. The base description mentions options such as white/pink/brown noise, rain, wind and ocean waves. It also has a softly diffused night light, and you can set a sleep timer (5–180 minutes) so the unit turns off the sounds and lights automatically when you want it to.
Display, dimming and night light comfort
Night-time comfort is where this clock earns its keep. The clock display is described as fully dimmable, and the night light brightness is adjustable too. That matters if you’re trying to avoid a glowing clock face through the night, or if you want something softer for kids.
The night light comes in eight colours. Again, it’s the adjustability that makes it feel more flexible than a fixed-colour bedside lamp. That said, if you’re expecting “mood lighting” on the same level as a dedicated smart lamp, you might find it a bit limited—this is primarily a clock/sound/sleep helper.
Sound options and how you’d use it in a real bedroom
A typical setup could look like this: in the evening, you pick one of the 26 soothing sounds and switch on the sleep timer for, say, a 30–60 minute session. The idea is that the sound helps you settle while the night light stays gentle in the background.
In the morning, you set your wake routine. If you don’t want to wake up to sound, you can use the OFF setting so it’s just the sunrise light. If you do want audio, you choose one of the eight alarm sounds instead. It’s a straightforward workflow: sunrise for waking, soothing sound for sleep, and night light for comfort.
What stands out (and what to watch)
Where it stands out is the “mix and match” approach—sunrise simulation plus optional alarm sound, and separate sleep aid sounds with a timer. That gives you more control than a basic alarm clock.
It also leans into safety for younger users. The description says the unit has an optimised built-in battery with an embedded design, avoiding battery removal, and that the backup battery remembers the last clock, sound and night light settings after a power outage. That’s a sensible design choice if you’re buying for a kid’s bedside.
One limitation to keep in mind: the product description doesn’t mention volume range, speaker size, or whether sounds can fill a whole room reliably. If you’re trying to mask strong household noise in a large space, you may need to consider whether a bedside device of this type will be enough.

Who it’s for (and who might skip it)
It makes sense if you want one bedside unit that helps with both falling asleep and waking up. It’s a practical fit for adults and kids, especially if you prefer light-based waking, like a calmer start to the day.
It may not suit you if you’re after a more advanced smart home experience, or if you need detailed audio control/specs beyond what’s described. Also, if your main goal is just an alarm clock with sounds, you might find yourself paying for features you won’t use.
Is it worth it?
Worth buying if you’ll actually use the sunrise simulation in the morning and the timed sleep sounds at night, and you care about dimming/low-glare bedside comfort. It’s a sensible choice for households that want a calmer wake-up and an easier wind-down without juggling separate gadgets.
Better avoided if you expect strong room-filling sound performance or require advanced connectivity features that aren’t mentioned here. In that case, a simpler alarm clock or a dedicated sound machine might match your priorities more closely.
