We loved reading next to it in bed, then docking the head to use the stem as an ambient light for watching TV, as well as waking up with it the following morning. It can also be programmed via the easy-to-use app, to turn on when it senses motion or at random intervals throughout the day, as a security measure. It adapts for every need, changing from a focused task light to a soft background light or even one that lights up artwork. Sleek and silver, it has a minimal look with a 360-degree rotating head and magnetic touch-docking, so it glides into place with a gentle – and oh-so-satisfying – push.
There’s no audible alarm or radio on this one – there’s not even a clock – but you’ll still be smitten once this is next to your bed. Continue reading.ĭyson has taken the sunrise clock to a whole new level with this ingenious desk lamp. We loved the fact we could play the sound of waves during the sunset too and really felt like we slept a lot deeper and more easily afterwards. A great bedside buy overall. Using this never felt like too much of a harsh wake-up call, although we never failed to wake using just the light anyway, despite the fact it was slightly (pleasantly) softer than some we tested. We also liked the wake-up melodies, especially the bird song. This clock is a particularly good choice if there are two people needing to wake up at different times, as it has two distinct and very useful alarm settings.
DOES PHILLIPS SUN ALARM CLOCK HEALTHY FULL
It has LED mood lighting and can be charged and used wirelessly – though beware that runtime is only around three hours on a full charge, so it won’t get you through the night.
DOES PHILLIPS SUN ALARM CLOCK HEALTHY BLUETOOTH
There’s an FM radio and it also functions as a Bluetooth speaker, which we thought was a nifty touch. It has pretty much everything else you could possibly need next to your bed too. It looks more like a speaker than a clock, with the time on a small screen at the bottom rather than a bigger one in the centre.
This Beurer lamp is one of the neatest wake-up alarm clocks we tested. Some of the clocks we tested can even be used during the day to provide an ongoing boost when it’s gloomy outside. Light-up clocks may particularly benefit those who suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and find mornings especially difficult without natural daylight. The light triggers us to produce serotonin too, which will (hopefully) help us wake up with more energy and in a better mood. This positively affects our circadian rhythms, which control sleeping patterns and are affected by light, so our body wakes up naturally. They work by emitting a natural-looking light (or dawn simulator) that gets brighter over a set period of time. The research revealed it’s far less stressful for the body to wake naturally, which a light-up alarm will enable you to do every morning. One recent study found that being woken suddenly by an alarm and then hitting snooze may be making us chronically tired as this process disrupts our natural sleep cycle. It could even make a difference to how well you feel for the rest of the day.
When the mornings are dark and cold, it’s even worse to be woken with a jolt, making it very tempting to snuggle back down under the duvet or hit that snooze button just one more time.Īlarm clocks that mimic sunrise could be the secret to stirring gently, so your body can acclimatise gradually to waking up. No one likes that awful moment the alarm goes off each morning.
