How it works
Set it once: your wake time and a sunrise length of 10 to 60 minutes, with the buttons on the clock. No app.
The light comes first: before any sound, the linen face starts to glow and slowly gets brighter, through 20 levels.
Then your sound: at your wake time your chosen alarm sound plays. Snooze gives you 5 to 20 more minutes.

6:10 a.m. Still pitch-dark.
My phone screams from the nightstand. I’m sitting up before my eyes are open, heart pounding.
Snooze. 6:19. Snooze. 6:28.
I make coffee in the dark with my shoulders up by my ears.
I just wanted to wake up calm, already half-awake, instead of jolting up to a screaming phone.
The solution
The Sunrise-First Wake.
A phone alarm does all the waking with one sound, out of the dark. VAKNA splits it in two. You set your wake time and a sunrise of 10 to 60 minutes. Before any sound, the linen face starts to glow and slowly gets brighter, through 20 levels, until the room is gold.
Only then does your chosen sound play. By that point you’re already half-awake, so the sound doesn’t have to jolt you out of the dark on its own. Light first. Sound last.
At night the same light is a reading lamp, a night light in 17 colours and a sound machine with 26 sleep sounds.

Why Sunrise-First
Morning light is the body’s wake-up cue.
The body clock uses morning light as its signal that the night is over. On a dark winter morning that signal never comes, so the alarm has to do all the work at once. The Sunrise-First Wake gives that signal back: 10 to 60 minutes of light before the sound.

FAQ
What is the Sunrise-First Wake?
It’s how VAKNA wakes you: light first, sound last. 10 to 60 minutes before your wake time (you choose), the linen face starts to glow and slowly gets brighter through 20 levels. Only at your wake time does your chosen sound play, so you’re already half-awake when it does.
Will light wake me? I’m a heavy sleeper.
You never rely on the light alone. The light comes first, then your chosen alarm sound plays at your wake time, and snooze (5–20 minutes) is there as a backup.
How long is the sunrise?
You choose: anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes before your alarm.
Do I need an app?
No. You set everything with the buttons on the clock in a few steps. It doesn’t use an app.
Will the same alarm sound get on my nerves?
There are 22 wake sounds to choose from, so you can switch whenever you like.
Can I play my own music?
Yes. Pair your phone over Bluetooth and VAKNA works as a speaker.
Can I use it as a reading or night light?
Yes. It has 17 light colours (8 solid and 9 RGB) and 20 brightness levels, plus 26 sleep sounds for falling asleep.
How many alarms can I set?
3 alarms.
Is there a subscription?
No. No app and no subscription: every setting is on the clock itself.
Which colours can I choose?
Natural (oatmeal linen) or Gray. You can mix colours in a 2- or 3-clock bundle.
How is it powered?
By USB.
When will my order arrive?
Shipping is free and tracked across the US. Orders usually ship within 1–2 working days and arrive within 5–9 working days.
What if it doesn’t work for me?
