#TRAVEL WHITE NOISE ALARM CLOCK HOW TO#

It wasn't more than a minute or two before my phone was in hand, and I was researching how to procure my own Loftie. The very first morning, I opened my eyes and thought to myself that this is what waking up should be. Plus, I couldn’t imagine spending more than $100 on an alarm clock-it seemed outlandish. I was expecting it would be too good to be true. I tested the Loftie last, as it was the most expensive option and has a bit of hype from fans online. Less fortunately, it didn’t wake me up the first morning I used it.

For two days, it chimed at 8:40 PM-fortunately I was home, so I was able to turn it off.

My only gripe was that I initially set the alarm to PM, unknowingly. A selection of volumes will be ample for most people, though it’s equipped with just one alarm tone, a fairly standard beeping that wasn’t as unpleasant as others we tested. While waking up with the Sharp wasn’t a particularly life-changing experience, it does its job-and then some. There are six tracks, ranging from various tones of white noise to rain noises and the sounds of the ocean. It was a unique feature that many other clocks we tried lacked entirely. There’s plenty of settings to use in the evening and throughout the night to help drown out noises that could otherwise disturb your slumber. The display can also be dimmed, making it sleep-friendly.Īn impressive array of white noise features also set the Sharp apart. If you plan to regularly change the alarm time or other settings, this pick could make your life a little easier. Though the dial may not be the most attractive design choice, it drastically improves the device’s functionality. It makes changing time and setting alarms a breeze. Rather than mashing buttons for several minutes, the clock relies on a dial atop the body. It’s intuitive from start to finish, from changing the time to setting the alarm. During testing, the Sharp DreamCaster was the first alarm clock that felt more substantive and, to be frank, easier to set up and navigate than any of the others.
