If you are looking for a solution for being able to see what time it is in the middle of the night without Blackpool illuminations keeping you awake, then take a look at the options a projection clock can provide.

You can display the time on the wall or ceiling either when the alarm goes off, at the touch of a button or sometimes by clapping your hands, pretty neat I think.

Some will provide you with other information such as the room temperature or the date and typically you can rotate the head to orientate the display to suit your sleeping position so that you can read it without getting a crick in the neck.

There are also digital and analogue options available for the USA and UK markets and the small key ring versions work really well as convenient travel clocks if you just want to know the time.
