Not a morning person? That's ok. Mondays are tough. We know that. It’s the first hurdle in the race to get to Friday.

Being yanked from your slumber by the sound of a torturous ringtone, after 60-odd hours of freedom – possibly still without having fully recovered from Saturday night — hurts. We feel you. All respectable individuals know that Monday mornings are about avoiding face-to-face encounters with coworkers for at least three hours. No one is ready for a real conversation on the first day of the week, until at least lunchtime.

If you've had a big weekend, you're going to need a little help kicking off the working week. Here’s our starter pack to help you to get out of bed and out the door on time.

The 8 essentials you need for getting through a hangover.

This alarm clock from Philips was designed to help you wake up more comfortably. Instead of using the age-old tactic of piercing noise, the Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock eases you into the day by mimicking the sun rising. It fades in a representation of natural light while playing one of five calming wake-up sounds, including birds, a Zen garden, a gentle piano, and more.
