Product Information

You have to have all the right pieces to complete that puzzle to get that good sleep,” he said. “When people try different things to get good sleep, it really depends on what puzzle piece is missing.” The light source is a multi-colored LED lamp with a maximum intensity of 300 lux (that’s pretty bright!). In sunrise simulation mode, the colors subtly and naturally blend, starting with a deep red, then gradually shifting to orange and yellowy-white tones as you approach your wake-up time. Use (+) and (-) to select between 7 sounds. Tone 1-6 consist of nature sounds, while tone 7 plays FM radio. “Program the Radio”. Today, home lighting systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated as they take advantage of ‘connected’ technology platforms collectively known as IoT or the internet of things.

It features a vibrant design with 8 emitting colors that can double as a table or bedside lamp during your non-sleep time. When you’re in the mood for a relaxing playlist or catching up with recent events, tune in to the FM radio and set your preferred station. Now you can be woken up with the relaxing sounds of the ocean or lively bird sounds, along with a gradually increasing light that starts 30 minutes before the alarm goes off. Or go to bed with the sunset stimulation that smoothly dims the room as you drift off to sleep. My wake up lights review was based on the first-hand experience of using these products at home. I used every of the wake up lights for a week at a time and noted how well the lights performed over that period of time. What else to consider: Some customers note that the controls can be difficult and that it can be hard to find the button you’re looking for, especially when you’re trying to turn off the alarm. The brightness levels are not drastically different, so if you want something that will dim to complete darkness, it may not be the one for you.There are plenty of additional features you won’t want to miss out on. Many of the wake-up lights feature dimmable red night lights to help you fall asleep.

A wake-up light is the best way to rise to the effect of sunlight every day. But there are some considerations you need to keep in mind when making your decision on the right wake up light for your home. What sets Somneo apart is its new RelaxBreathe sleep aid feature which uses guided breathing programs to help you drift off to sleep faster. A study found that79% of Somneo users reported falling asleep easier with the RelaxBreathe function, after just 2 weeks of use (MetrixLab, HUT Sept 2017, US N=113). Your body is built to wake naturally with the sunrise and feel sleepy as it sets. The sun rises at a deeply orange 2,000 kelvin and transitions to a rich, golden 3,500 K on its way to a bluer midday sun around 5,500 K. Sunsets do the reverse.Whilst it might seem expensive for what appears to be a replacement light bulb, but the MagicLight has quite an overwhelming feature list that soon makes you realise what an incredible bargain it actually is. As we’re focussing on dawn simulator alarms, I won’t go into too much detail, but here’s a short list of just some of the features and specifications: In addition to the sunrise light feature, most of our suggested models have plenty of other features. Lights can wake you up with different sounds or radio stations and many have timers to fade them out after a certain period of time. Some double as mood lights and a sunset stimulation, where the light fades from full to zero to help you fall asleep.

However, studies have shown that dawn simulation devices, using much lower brightnesses are also effective in treating winter depression. Benefit 4) Helps regulate your sleep and wake hormones If you’re looking for a light you can control via your phone, the Hatch Restore 2 is the one to go for. This is a really sleek design, which sits nicely on your bedside table. The front is covered with a linen fabric, which helps to diffuse the light, and it’s available in three colors, Putty, Latte and Slate (that's brown, cream and gray, for the rest of us). Setup is easy in the app and you can then control the light entirely through your phone. Probably the most important factor to consider in a wake up light is the maximum brightness of the light source. You can think of the brightness of the light as being similar to the volume of an alarm tone. The brighter the light source, the more effective it will be in rousing you from slumber. The Snooze button momentarily stops the alarm for 5/10/15/20 minutes by your Snooze setting. Alarm ring will resume after this time. What else to consider: Reviewers appreciated that you can completely turn off the alarm digits and display, though some had a hard time setting the FM radio function and dealing with the physical controls, similar to the button design on the Philips SmartSleep.It did a good job of casting enough light when it was the only lamp in my otherwise dark bedroom, but it's a bit on the small side, and because of its headlamp-like shape it shines most in a particular direction. The light is also not as diffused as the higher-end alarms on this list—certainly enough to read by before bed, but not quite as able to bathe the whole room in light. It's still plenty bright to help wake you up, though. Wake up lights come in many different shapes and sizes, but the principle is the same. You set your wake up time before you go to bed. Then, a set number of minutes before your alarm goes off, the light gradually increases until it reaches maximum brightness at your desired wakeup time. Rob Davey, a sleep expert at Snoozel Green, explained to Fit&Well that our bodies respond best when woken up by the light of a rising sun, as sunlight catalyzes our circadian rhythm and lets our brain know it’s time to be alert and operating.
