Having no problems whatsoever getting up in the morning, but having a hard time falling asleep at night? This alarm clock should definitely be right up your alley then.

Our clock comes with built-in nature sounds – the ocean, distant birds, a calming rain, a gentle stream – extraordinarily soothing sounds that are not artificial or overdone. There’s FM and an iPod dock built in, too – and the Acoustic Research name assures great sound across the board.

Clock is amazingly easy to use, with easily accessible big buttons. Simply whirl the big knob to set. There’s a dual alarm so you can set the clock for everyday, or set the secondary alarm for naptime or weekends. Note the lovely cherry wood cabinet.

Features:

• Soothes you to sleep with sounds of rain, ocean, stream, and more
• Easy to use, easy to set
• Attractive, cherry-wood unit looks great with any décor
• A series of beautifully captured nature sounds
• FM and an iPod dock built in

The Go to Sleep Alarm Clock is available from the First Street website for $269.

This patented Cesar Millan in a jar device is said to be able to “quickly and humanely restore peace and quiet to a home vexed by a dog’s excessive barking”.

No special collar is required; when a dog barks within 25′ of the unit, it emits a harmless ultrasonic tone, inaudible to humans, that startles the animal into silence. The dog quickly associates its bark with the unpleasant sound, which conditions him to curb this undesirable behavior.

The unit can also be activated manually to help you correct a dog’s other bad habits, such as lying on furniture or foraging through the trash.

The Indoor Barking Dog Deterrent measures 3(H) x 5(W) x 2 1/2(D) inches and requires one 9-volt battery. The product is available from the Hammacher Schlemmer website for $49.95.
