If you're looking for an alarm clock, there are hundreds of models and types to choose from, but when we asked you which alarm clocks were the best at getting you out of bed or waking you so you have the best start to the day, you had some great suggestions. We rounded them up and highlighted the top five alarm clocks from your nominations, and now we're back to crown the overall winner.
Overall, most of you said that your smartphone was the best alarm clock for you?and considering the sheer number of apps available for every mobile platform that cater to different types of sleepers, it's not surprising it brought in 72% of the overall vote.
In second place with close to 12% was the Sony Dream Machines long-running line of alarm clocks that run the gamut from bare-bones AM/FM radio alarms to high-tech sound systems with night-vision clocks. Behind it with close to 10% of the vote was the Philips Wake-Up Light, which gradually increases the light in your room as it gets closer to the time to wake so you rise easily and refreshed. In fourth place with close to 4% of the overall vote was the Sony Dash/Chumby combo - a pair that's only available used and refurbished, but still offers a great bedside internet-connected system that wakes you with news, weather, and other relevant information. FInally, bringing up the rear with over 3% of the vote was the humble iHome, makers of docks for your iPhone, iPad, Android, and Kindle phones and tablets.
The Hive Five is based on reader nominations. As with most Hive Five posts, if your favorite was left out, it's not because we hate it?it's because it didn't get the nominations required in the call for contenders post to make the top five. We understand it's a bit of a popularity contest, but if you have a favorite, we want to hear about it. Have a suggestion for the Hive Five? Send us an email at tips+hivefive@lifehacker.com!
