Product Description
How do Bodyclock dawn simulators work?
Bodyclock Active 250 wakes you up gradually with a simulated sunrise. The brightening light brings you gently out of sleep, prompting your body to suppress the sleep hormone melatonin while increasing hormones like cortisol to help you get up and go. It provides a fantastic start to the day for sufferers of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and helps non-morning people to feel brighter and more energetic.
Waking to natural light resets your sleep/wake cycle and has been shown to boost your mood, productivity and energy levels all day. Our physiological body clocks are aligned by sunrise and sunset and can be thrown into disarray by modern life. We feel tired and stressed waking early for work or school. Bodyclock restores the rhythm, helping you feel awake in the day and ready to sleep at night.
Combine light and sound for ideal mornings and nights
Active 250's variable sunrise and sunset can be accompanied by a rooster call, dawn chorus, alarm or FM radio in the morning and waves and white noise at night. It doubles as a bedside light, nightlight and security lamp, and comes with a snooze function, dimmable display, back-up beeper and power back-up.
Bodyclock Active 250 is a certified medical device EC93/42
Designed to help with SAD, winter blues and other waking and sleeping difficulties, it conforms to European standards and carries the correct CE mark. Bodyclock has been proven effective by clinical trials and comes with clear usage guidelines.
Made by specialist light therapy inventors
Active 250 is made by Lumie, the Cambridge-based light therapy specialist which invented the dawn simulator in 1993. Working with the scientific community they have developed the best-selling Bodyclock range as well as devices for SAD, jet lag, acne and hay fever.

4.0 out of 5 stars
have yet to use snooze,
By nikitynik "Nick" (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lumie Bodyclock ACTIVE 250 Wake-up Light Alarm Clock - with advanced audio options (Personal Care)
This is a 2 month retrospective look after having purchased this from John Lewis, and I'll do what I can to skip over what the product review from the manufacturer already tells you.PROS: - Gradual sunrise setting are brilliant. Not having a bright flash of light bursting through makes a pleasant and noticeable difference in the morning. - You have control over how long a period you want the light to slowly dim on, and how bright you want it to get to. - The lamp is BRIGHT if you want it to be, it is easily comparable to a 100W bulb. - Various different alarm clock noises, including a radio, so on the whole you'll find something that suits you. I found that the radio (when put to something easy like Heart FM) is generally the best, and I have yet to put it on snooze since. This is coming from a long-time-multi-snooze person (7am? nahhh.... 20 more minutes...). - For all you oldies, there's still that alarm noise (BEEP BEEP BEEP...) that will make you nostalgic for the 80s. But the aforementioned radio is still more pleasant. ;) - A relatively cheap replaceable bulb (£5). Now that might sound like a no-brainer, I mean aren't all bulbs replaceable? Well, if you were to buy the Philips version of this lamps, the answer is "no". So though it seems like such a non-issue, make sure whichever slow dimming/glowing lamp you buy, you can buy just the bulb and not have to buy the whole unit again. - 2 Years manufacturer's warranty included, so if your machine decides to not work, you can rest assured that someone will fix it for you. Granted you'll be minus 1 alarm clock for that duration. CONS: - Radio is not DAB, so it doesn't have the crystal clear quality that some of you might be used to, but that said, it's not a bad regular FM radio at all. The radio receiver is a cheap looking white wire that trails from the back of the unit. It does have a digital tuner as a small compensation.... - The bird that chirps on one of the alarm settings needs to be shot. In short, I haven't put it on that one. - No battery option, so if there is a power outage, you can rest assured that you'll be late for work. :) - £100 price mark. As far as lamps or alarm clocks go, this is by no measurable means "cheap". However, as that adage goes: you get what you pay for, and I have noticed that getting up in the morning is a lot less stressful lately. Can you put a price on that? Well, yes... SUMMARY: There are a few lumie models out there on the market at the moment, with noticeable price difference, but this was the one I settled for in the end because of 1) replaceable bulb 2) 2 year warranty 3) radio function 4) controllable dim/glow function over your own set time. Is it worth £100? No, maybe more the £70 mark, but when it's all said and done, it's the only one I could find that satisfactorily ticked all the boxes. Am I happy with this purchase? Yeah, I guess you can say that I am. :)

love lumie 250 but it's expensive,
This review is from: Lumie Bodyclock ACTIVE 250 Wake-up Light Alarm Clock - with advanced audio options (Personal Care)
I love this and it does work -it feels like natural daylight and i've not had to wait until the alarm/birdsong wakes me yet.. setting the nightime sounds slightly more tricky. i will say that for just a few natural sounds (birds/waves/cockeral) and a radio it is very expensive - not sure how other products on the market compare as never seen any. The only other point is that when i received my lumie - i was shocked how big it was - twice as large as i imagined takes up quite a space on the bedside table - so check your measurements. But all in all - im keeping mine as i prefer it to my old alarm clock any day.

What do you buy the man who has everything?,
This review is from: Lumie Bodyclock ACTIVE 250 Wake-up Light Alarm Clock - with advanced audio options (Personal Care)
My husband really hates dark mornings. I'm not a fan myself but trying to get him out of bed in the winter before it gets light is a nightmare. The day is over before we even get started. I saw the Lumie Bodyclock demonstrated on a television programme and although I was sceptical at first, another gadget for the cupboard, I began to warm to the idea. Basically the Bodyclock Active wakes you with a sunrise that naturally helps to regulate your sleep and wake patterns. The booklet calls it a 'dawn simulator'. You can wake up with any sounds you choose or the radio. There is also a fading sunset to help you unwind at the end of the day & drift off to sleep. Guess what, he loves it and I honestly think it's doing both of us good.
