Smartphone alarm features are convenient, but sleep experts agree that an overwhelming portion of our contemporary sleep problems come from snoozing next to our phones’ snooze buttons. For a sleep-healthy alternative, check out Vobot, a smart clock that integrates with Amazon Alexa. Designed as a standalone device, Vobot uses touch, voice, and motion controls to set alarms, play white noise or natural sounds to help you get to sleep, and wake you up with music you set. If you're not ready to get up when your alarm goes off, just flip the clock over to snooze. After you’re up, you can use your Vobot to play music, check the weather, or listen to the news; integrate with your home's Alexa system and the functionality expands even further. The Vobot retails for $59 but it's available now to Daily Beast readers for $44.99 — a 23% discount.
