Getting out of bed in the morning is not always easy. Phillips has in an impressive experiment in Spitsbergen (Norway), where the sun does not shine for four months, proven that a sunrise alarm clock is healthy and makes getting up easier. Especially in winter or when you sleep with the blinds closed and you are not kissed awake by the sun, it has been proven that people have a harder time waking up, also here with us.
In collaboration with scientists, what is probably the best sunrise alarm clock of all was created – and it’s now on sale at Amazon. If you want to wake up better and fresher, you should definitely try it.

Good Morning Sunshine! Every day thanks to the wake-up light
I myself was only last year in Spitsbergen and in Longyearbyen, where the experiment took place. In summer it was the other way around there: the sun shone 24 hours a day, it was always bright. I often wondered what it was like there in the polar night. In these four months of eternal darkness, when the sun never comes out, when it’s never day. And the locals also said that it is anything but easy.
At least to make getting up easier in times when there is no tomorrowPhilips has distributed its sunrise alarm clocks and measured what they do – but see for yourself:

The Result was clear: A sunrise alarm clock helps the vast majority of people get up. And not only in the far north, but also here: It doesn’t matter whether it’s a rainy day, in the dark of winter, when it’s still pitch-black at seven, or when the blinds are closed – the simulated sunrise activates the body and prepares itself for waking up while we are still asleep. You notice the difference!

Light alarm clock: Healthier, fresher and more awake in the morning
Almost 90% of the test subjects stated that they woke up fresher and better. And even 97% of testers who previously had trouble getting out of bed reported getting out of bed easier. But the mood and energy level of most of them also increased – 98% of the test persons continued to use the alarm clock after the experiment. Longyearbyen is of course an extreme example, but a wake-up light also has a lot of advantages in our everyday life.
If your bedroom isn’t blessed with a window on the sunny side, you like to sleep with the blinds closed, or just generally like a little extra push in the morning, then the Wake Up Light is perfect for you. You can also use it as a simple one bedside lamp using Set alarm time, lighting and alarm sounds or listen to the radio. My fiancee and I have our own sunrise alarm clock and it was worth its weight in gold, especially in winter!
