The modern nightstand has accumulated too many items for what are essentially five simple functions: alarm, white noise, sleep timer, reading light, and nightlight. DAWN handles all five in one circular wood-grain object. 26 sounds with a 5–180 minute timer for falling asleep. 8 ambient light colors for reading or ambience. Sunrise simulation to wake naturally. LED display that dims to near-black so the clock face doesn't light up your room at 2am.
26 sounds. 8 lights. Sunrise alarm. One bedside object.
- 26 SLEEP SOUNDS + 5–180 MIN TIMER: 26 tracks covering white noise, pink noise, brown noise, drizzle, light wind, ocean waves, forest ambience, lullabies, and more. Set the sleep timer for anywhere from 5 to 180 minutes — the sound plays through your wind-down and stops automatically. You fall asleep to the sound without running it all night.
- SUNRISE SIMULATION + 3 ALARM TONES: the sunrise function brightens gradually from 1% to full — allowing natural surfacing from deep sleep before the alarm tone activates. Three alarm tones across 30 volume levels let you set the confirmation sound from whisper to definite. Morning without the jolt.
- 8 AMBIENT READING LIGHT COLORS: eight selectable ambient light colors — Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Light Blue, Blue, Purple, White — dimmable for bedside reading, nightlight, or room ambience. Warm red and orange for evening use without melatonin suppression; cooler blues for reading when that's not a concern.
- DIMMABLE DISPLAY + WOOD-GRAIN FINISH: the LED display dims to near-black for sleep — no light pollution from the clock face during your sleep cycle. The 170×75mm circular body in wood-grain plastic finish reads as a designed bedside object, not a utility gadget. 540g, stable, and compact enough for narrow nightstands.
Combining a sleep timer, ambient light, sunrise alarm, and sound machine into one device removes the friction between sleep intention and sleep environment setup — compliance with sleep hygiene routines improves with simpler ritual.
built-in sleep sounds — white noise, nature sounds, lullabies, across a range that covers most sleep acoustic preferences
minute sleep timer — set and forget, sound stops automatically anywhere in a 3-hour window
ambient light colors — from warm red for evening use to white for reading, dimmable for each use case

How simplifying the sleep ritual improves sleep outcomes
Sleep hygiene routines with high friction — multiple apps, multiple devices, multiple steps — are abandoned within weeks. A single bedside object that handles alarm, sounds, lights, and timer removes friction from the routine entirely. The habit sustains because the setup cost is zero.
Sunrise simulation allows gradual surfacing from deep sleep before the alarm confirms. The body rises through lighter sleep stages during the gradient — morning grogginess (sleep inertia) is reduced because the waking is progressive rather than abrupt.
When a single device handles alarm, white noise, sleep timer, reading light, and nightlight, the phone has no functional role in the bedroom. Reduced phone presence at bedtime is consistently associated with faster sleep onset and fewer midnight interruptions from notifications.
For anyone whose nightstand has too many items doing too few things.
The phone-removal candidate
Your phone is on the nightstand because it's your alarm, your white noise app, your reading light, and your sleep timer. Removing it means losing all four functions.
DAWN replaces all four — alarm, 26 sounds with timer, 8-color reading light, and display nightlight — in one object. Take the phone out of the bedroom.
The sound-to-sleep person
You need sound to fall asleep but you don't want it running all night. Your phone timer shuts off the app but the screen comes back on and you check it.
DAWN's 5–180 minute timer shuts the sound off silently — no screen, no notification, no temptation to check the phone.
The winter dark-morning sleeper
Your winter mornings are dark and groggy. A jarring alarm in complete darkness is the worst possible way to start the day.
Sunrise simulation from 1% to full brightness over a gradual gradient gives your body the light cue to surface naturally before the alarm sound.
The bedtime reader
You read before bed but your bedside light is either too bright, too blue, or can't be dimmed enough to transition to sleep without switching it off completely.
8 light colors including warm red and orange for reading without melatonin suppression — and dimmable at each color for the exact brightness level you need.
The parent of young children
You need white noise in the nursery, a nightlight for 3am feeds, and an alarm for yourself. You're managing three devices for three functions.
DAWN handles white noise with a sleep timer, a soft ambient nightlight, and your wake-up alarm in one compact circular object.
Set your timer. Set your alarm. Replace your phone.
Plug In
Connect DAWN with the included power adapter — EU, UK, US, AU, or IN plug depending on your region. The backup battery retains settings if power is interrupted.
Adapter IncludedSelect Sound and Timer
Choose from 26 built-in sleep tracks. Set the sleep timer for 5–180 minutes — the sound plays through your wind-down and shuts off automatically at the end of the timer.
26 Sounds + 5–180min TimerWake to Sunrise
Set your alarm. The sunrise gradient begins before your target wake time — the display brightens gradually from near-dark to full. By the time the alarm tone activates, you're already in a lighter sleep stage. Set one of 3 tones at your preferred volume from 30 levels.
Sunrise + 3 Alarm TonesA phone does 5 things badly. DAWN does 5 things — alarm, sounds, timer, light, nightlight — as one designed object.
