Even if you have your perfect, dream job and you love every minute of work, nobody likes getting up in the morning. That’s a fact. So spending money on anything that makes it less painful is probably a sound investment.
Literally so, in the case of the new Philips Wake-up Light, an alarm clock with a difference. Inspired by nature’s sunrise, it features a sunrise simulation which is designed to wake you gradually and naturally, by starting to light up 30 minutes before the time you set your alarm for. This process of changing an increasing light stimulates your body to wake up naturally. By the time light has filled the room your chosen natural sound completes the wake up experience, leaving you ready for the day ahead.
There is the choice of three different natural alarm sounds, as well as the option of FM radio. The website claims: ‘It helps you to feel more refreshed, so that it is easier to get out of bed’. This is essential for a good performance at work. You’ll wake up feeling energised, refreshed and enthusiastic for the day ahead. With the clocks going back last week, it’s even harder to wean yourself out of your bed when it’s dark outside. The Wake-up light allows you to wake up naturally rather than being dazzled by the bright light you first switch on as your body gently adjusts to the increasing brightness, even during
your sleep.
With mornings now cast under winter’s darkness, if you’re the sort of person that needs all the help they can get in the early hours, then this will be a useful tool.
The design of the clock is quite sleek, it’s white and stylish, with smooth surfaces and a clean look.
It features buttons on the face, which are quite sensitive to the touch. You can also purchase one that is operated by an iPhone App.
The natural wake up sounds of the alarm is a pleasant way to start your day rather than a startled shock of a loud alarm, while for those who find it difficult to fall asleep, the Sunset simulation prepares your body to fall asleep by gradually decreasing light and sound to gently send you off
to slumber.
There are a number of these available on the market, however, the Phillips Wake-up light is the only one scientifically proven to work with 92% of users agreeing that it is easier to get out of bed in the morning. The Philips Wake-up Light not only wakes you more naturally, but also more energised and that it improves your mood in the morning.
Sensitivity to light differs from person to person, therefore, there are 20 brightness settings to fit your personal preference.
All in all, it’s quite difficult to imagine getting up not using the Philips Wake-up Light now, especially with winter heading our way at a rate of knots.
