More information on our Sunrise Alarm Clocks
Our sunrise alarm clocks and dawn simulators are a great way to treat the symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), the ‘winter blues’, or simply to enhance your everyday well-being by improving your sleep pattern.
Sunrise alarm clocks, such as the Lumie Bodyclock, simulate sunrise (and sunset) to make your sleep pattern more natural. SAD sufferers, shift workers, and anyone who prefers not to wake up in total darkness may find a sunrise alarm clock can make a big difference to your energy levels.
Users of the Lumie Bodyclock have told us that they feel refreshed and have much more energy, throughout the day. The scientific reason for this is that the gradually brightening light emitted from the alarm clock tells the brain to stop producing sleep hormones such as melatonin, and begin producing get-up-and-go hormones such as cortisol. Awaking suddenly in pitch darkness deprives you of this natural hormone adjustment and consequently can leave you without energy, concentration and motivation for the rest of the day. |
