Questions, answered.

Still curious? Email info@wakeysleep.com. We reply within a day.

Will it wake me up if I’m a heavy sleeper?

Yes. Most people wake up halfway through the sunrise, before the alarm even plays. One customer, a self-described “chronic snooze button slapper,” woke up 5 minutes before her alarm the first time she used it. If the light doesn’t wake you, the sound will, and you can make it as loud as you need.

How does the sunrise alarm work?

Before your alarm, Wakey’s light slowly brightens from deep amber to warm daylight. You choose how long the sunrise lasts, from 5 to 60 minutes. Your body starts waking up with the light, so most people are awake before the sound plays. If you’re not, one of 26 gentle wake-up sounds finishes the job.

Do I need my phone or an app?

You use the free Wakey app once to set up your alarms, sunrise and sounds. There’s no subscription and nothing to upgrade, ever. After setup your phone can stay out of the bedroom, and the snooze button sits right on top of the clock.

Can I turn the display off at night?

Yes. Dim the digits or switch the display off completely for total darkness. The night light is optional too, in any color and at any brightness you like.

What if it is not for me?

Try Wakey for 30 nights. If you’re not waking up happier, send it back for a full refund. No questions, no hassle. Email info@wakeysleep.com and we’ll take care of it.

Does it make a good gift?

It’s the gift you can’t get wrong. Everyone hates their alarm. Nobody likes being jolted awake by a siren, snoozing 7 times and starting the day already behind.

Wakey changes that from the first morning. They wake up slowly to a soft sunrise, not a screaming phone. They fall asleep to calming sounds instead of scrolling. And they’ll think of you every morning they wake up in a good mood.

Most gifts get used once. This one gets used every single day.
