Alarm clocks for travelers come in many styles and designs. Some have large outer cases that simply flip open, while other models resemble small stereos and speakers that outwardly rotate. Other popular travel alarms looks similar to mobile phones or have large LED faces. Styling is quite varied, but the main feature most share is being able to fold into a convenient protective carrying case. You can purchase a travel clock at most popular department stores or luggage retailers.
Another benefit to a travel alarm clock is the different function and setting options available. Some models allow you to select a variety of alarms that range from soothing ocean sounds to a loud shrieking noise, depending on whether you are a sound or light sleeper. Being on a different schedule or having fatigue from long distance traveling are good reasons to have a quality alarm clock at your disposal.
Some travelers prefer waking up to their favorite music. A digital travel clock can be set to activate a specific radio station instead of a progressive buzzing alarm. Digital alarm clocks might include extra features such as an integrated MP3 or CD player interface. The majority have battery backup in order to maintain the correct time if a power surge or outage occurs.
