Since time began, humans have
learned to respond to the rising dawn by slowly waking up. Today, however, we
tend to startle ourselves awake with an abrupt alarm call that can leave us
feeling weary and irritable all day. Fortunately, with these ingenious gradual natural sunrise alarm clocks, we can return to the natural way to wake.
The Lumie
Bodyclock natural alarm clock dawn simulator is a daylight alarm clock as it imitates a sunrise effect
beside your bed - from the first faint glimmer of dawn, gradually increasing in
brightness until you gently wake up the way nature intended, fresh and alert
with your body clock perfectly synchronised.
The
affordable Body clock features a unique innovation - its
rear-facing light attractively simulates the rays of the dawning sun onto the
wall making it the perfect natural light alarm clock.
It can help reduce the symptoms of Seasonal
Affective Disorder SAD, and Winter Blues. Typical symptoms of Seasonal SAD are
depression, lethargy, anxiety, craving, social problems, sleep problems and
loss of libido. Click here to read more on Seasonal Affective Disorder - S.A.D

This is just some of the
research into dawn simulation and its beneficial effects on sleep, waking, mood
and energy.
Is dawn simulation effective in
ameliorating the difficulty awakening in seasonal affective disorder associated
with hypersomnia?
J Affect Disord. 2002 May;69(1-3):231-6.
People with SAD often find it really hard to
wake up and this study showed that dawn simulation could be of particular
benefit. After one week of waking with dawn simulation, SAD sufferers were
assessed and had considerably lower scores in respect of difficulty
awakening and sleepiness. Click here to read the
