Wake Up Light
Waking up when your body is not ready for it, is as we all know, not very comfortable. This is something that many electronic companies have tried to find a solution to, and that is probably the reason why wake up lights are so popular now.
How does it work?
Put very simply a Wake-Up Light is a quite advanced alarm clock with light that during a thirty minute period increase in brightness.
The idea is that you also through a dark autumn and winter should be able to wake up to the same principles as you do during the summer, The light shining on your eyes, even tho you are still asleep triggers your brain to start producing Cortisol, (which is the energy hormone that also regulates your blood sugar) the hormones in your brain is now more balanced and is ready to wake up.
At the same as it uses light, it also uses audio clips of birds, frogs, waves or the classic beep-beep alarm sound. It is also possible to set it to a FM radio station that can be used as alarm sound.
Does it work?
To program the alarm is so simple that even two-year-olds could set the settings with ease, and all you need to decide in advance is the alarm sound, light intensity and alarm volume.
To adjust the brightness is really easy, but remember that the light uses a half hour to go from zero to full strength and if it reaches full strength too early may well be that you wake up twenty minutes before the time you set the alarm.
The advertisement promises that waking to light makes you a healthier and more obvious start. Let it be said that Wake-Up Lights is primarily intended as an aid for those who sleep the hours they should. And it works. You wake up and you wake up without you really being aware of it. Unlike any classic alarm clock that brutally wakes you up, you wake up gradually and comfortably.
Conclusion:
Wake up lights are an effective and comfortable way to wake up, as it recreates the feeling of the sun coming through your bedroom window, just like in the summer.
You still need the same amount of sleep as before, it will not cure tiredness,this is merely a product to make waking up more natural and comfortable.
