Lumie Bodyclock Advanced 200 Wake-up Light Alarm Clock

Why are Bodyclock dawn simulators so effective?

Lumie Bodyclock Advanced 200 wakes you up gradually with a simulated sunrise. The brightening light brings you more gently out of sleep, prompting your body to reduce the production of sleep hormones such as melatonin, while increasing the levels of hormones like cortisol that help you get up and go. This provides a fantastic start to the day for sufferers of SAD syndrome (seasonal affective disorder) and the winter blues, and helps anyone who is not naturally a morning person to feel brighter and more energetic first thing.

It is not just a nicer way to wake up. Waking to natural light every day resets your sleep/wake cycle and has been shown to boost your mood, productivity and energy levels throughout the day. Our physiological body clocks are aligned by sunrise and sunset. As most of us experience a mix of early starts, late nights, weekend lie-ins and sometimes travel disruption, our internal sleep rhythms are thrown into disarray. We feel tired and stressed trying to wake up for work, school or sports training. A dawn simulator device restores your body clock to run in time with your day, helping you feel more awake during the day and more ready for sleep at night.

Wake and fall asleep more easily

As well as the morning sunrise created by the halogen bulb, the glass covered Bodyclock Advanced 200 comes with a sunset feature that helps you unwind at night. Control the time it takes for both the sunrise and the sunset to find the pace that suits you best. When falling asleep a white noise setting helps to mask sounds that would otherwise keep you awake and there is a fade-to-nightlight option should you desire low light throughout the night.

The wake-up alarm includes a snooze function and a back-up beeper for added reassurance. It comes with an intelligent LCD digital display and the bright light is dimmable so that it can also be used like a normal bedside light. There is no need to worry about sleeping through the alarm should the power go off: the device comes with power failure back-up. Bodyclock Advanced 200 comes with a two-year guarantee.
