Up to 250 Lux Light Intensity For Both Natural Awakening And Easy Reading

In general, when using a higher light intensity a person needs less time to become fully awake.

Light Positively Affects Energy Hormones

Research shows that light stimulates the senses, giving you more energy and helping you to feel less lethargic, that is why it is so much easier to rise during the summer months as opposed to the dark winter months. As the light falls on your eyes, a message is sent to your brain that positively affects the production of cortisol, the energy hormone. This means that at your required wake-up time your hormones are better balanced and you’ll feel more energetic right from the start of the day.

Sleep and the Biological Clock

Optimal mood and functioning are associated with an appropriate alignment of sleep and wakefulness with the timing of the biological clock. Not only is mood, subjective impression of sleep quality, feeling of vigour and activity a affected by the time of awakening but also by the manner of the awakening (whether voluntary or involuntary). One of the main synchronisers of the biological clock with the 24 hour day is light, particularly dawn light.

The biological clock is particularly sensitive and its timing resettable by the effects of dawn light. Involuntary or unexpected awakenings are associated with a stress response. It is possible to reduced this stress by planning awakenings. A combination of a planned awakening, supported by appropriate exposure to dawn light can lead to: wakefulness that is properly synchronised with the biological clock, an awakening that is stress free and associated with feelings of vigour and pleasantness and consequently a day starting with optimal mood and function.
