Reba McEntire can't live without this alarm clock — and it's on sale for just $13

'It’s digital and has a night-light, so when I walk into the bathroom at night, I know exactly what time it is,' said the Queen of Country.

With the holidaze behind us and the new year in full swing, it's time to get back on schedule. If you've been having a bit of trouble adjusting, the Queen of Country has a solution. Bright-eyed Reba McEntire relies on the Peakeep Night Light Digital Alarm Clock to keep her on track — right now it’s on sale at Amazon for just $13.

Compact with a digital display, this portable clock has a night-light, and it can tell you what the temperature is in the room.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

Being wide awake for a productive day is priceless, and while we've seen this clock on sale a few times, it just dropped to $13 today — and we don't expect the price to go lower. Snag it before the price jumps again.

Why do I need this? 🧐

When performers have big events, the artists give the venue a list of the things they need to, shall we say, perform at their best. McEntire told New York magazine that this little alarm clock is on that list.

"It’s easy to turn on, adjust and set the time, whether you want military time or standard time," she said. "My nieces and nephews or my next-door neighbor’s kids have come over to set up other clocks for me because they’re just too high-tech. I don’t like that. This one is very simple. It’s digital and has a night-light, so when I walk into the bathroom at night, I know exactly what time it is."

In addition to the night-light and digital display, the clock itself is battery-operated (read: great for power outages) and even shows the time you have your alarm set. Another huge bonus: This baby tells you the temperature of the room.

What reviewers say 💬

More than 16,000 Amazon shoppers love this little alarm clock too.

Pros 👍

"Have you ever purchased a clock and you have to pull out the directions and your glasses to figure out how to use it? Heaven forbid the time changes," asked a five-star fan. "Not [with] this little guy. Numbers are big, the buttons are simple, simple to set time and alarm and the thing I like best, is it doesn't glow, and it doesn't beep. When you hit the button for backlight, it is subtle, not wake-you-up bright light in your face."

"This alarm clock has a simple, easy-to-use design," shared a happy shopper. "I like that there are options for the backlight, so I can keep it dark at night. It’s a great alarm clock option if you’re trying to keep phones and other devices away from your nightstand. I surprisingly like that it is battery operated — it keeps the nightstand clear and allows for flexibility in location."

"I just needed an alarm clock because I kept snoozing my phone alarm in my sleep," wrote a rave reviewer. "This is a good price, looks exactly like the photos and it's battery powered, so it doesn't use up a socket by my bedside table. The alarm sound isn't jarring, but it wakes me up. It isn't flimsy and it looks just like the photo."

Cons 👎

Shoppers say a few adjustments could make it better.

"The only thing I wish it would do is have more than just the typical alarm noise, but I knew that when I read the description before I purchased it," wrote one shopper.

"This is great for camping and shows the temperature, which is awesome," wrote another shopper. "The only feature I wish it had is a way to adjust the volume of the alarm. It is a little louder than I would prefer."

The digital display has large numbers to make it easy to read, and the backlight is subtle, so it doesn't blind you in the middle of the night. See all six colors.

And if you need some extra reinforcements for the winter chills, McEntire's favorite vest is also on sale.

Sure, it's insulated with an eco-friendly filling, but the real stars of the show are the carbon fiber heating elements sandwiched inside of its wind- and water-resistant shell. These create four heating zones — in the left and right front areas, the upper back and the collar — that evenly spread warmth throughout the vest.

"I wear this to work where I have to use a shuttle to get to my building," shared a happy shopper. "A lot of our winter weather consists of 20 and below temps at night and into early morning. Simply [wore] this over a moderately thick zip-up hoodie [and it] keeps me incredibly warm and sometimes a little too toasty."
