Having your phone within reach of your bed is known to damage the quality of sleep that you achieve each night.
Our readers said that they often justify having their phone near their bed because they need it as an alarm in the morning. So we are all guilty of keeping our phones close by when we go to sleep, but maybe it’s time to change that.
Having your phone nearby can mean that you do not allow your mind to completely switch off. You may feel the urge to check your various social media accounts and answer emails.
With so many options out there when it comes to alarm clocks, there should be something for everyone. Here are some alarm clocks to give you a better nights sleep and get you out of the right side of the bed in the morning because phone alarms are old news.
