A complete sleep/wake system to improve your everyday well-being
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
sunrise alarm clocks, we can return to the natural way to wake.
The
Lumie Bodyclock Elite 300 is a sunrise alarm clock that 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
brightening light is a natural cue for your body to reduce the production of
sleep hormones (e.g. melatonin) and gradually increase the levels of those that
help you get up and go (e.g. cortisol).
Waking
with the light every day will help to keep your sleep/wake cycle on track and
has shown to boost your mood, productivity and energy levels for the rest of
the day.
The
Bodyclock Elite 300 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
