Does there exist any decent SW based clock radios to
keep near my bed at night to listen to SW programs
while going to sleep and upon wakening?

For a clock radio to be useful on the shortwave bands it really should
be able to point to a channel in memory because shortwave stations do
not broadcast on the same frequency all day long.

The Sony 2010 and Eton E1 both can be set to turn on and off
automatically using memory channels.

Any of the Kaitos would work like the 1103, 1102, 1101, etc...
