Product Information

Instead I switched on this Lumie Mini, small enough at 16cm wide to slot next to my monitor without getting in the way. This way, you don’t awaken suddenly, but in a way that’s more in tune with your natural biorhythms, leaving you more refreshed and energised. Alternatively, you can use the speaker it houses to play your own music via Bluetooth, or via any USB connected device.

To deactivate the alarm, press the Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 button on the wake up light until either (depending on the selected alarm memory space) goes out. Offering 800 Lux at a distance of approximately 10cm, the LED lamp isn’t the brightest, but that’s kind of the point. This allows you to wake up gently, in harmony with your natural sleep rhythm and creates the best conditions to start the day right.The only light is the orangey hue from the clock and because of the stand, it looks suspended in mid-air, like the sun. You can choose from a duration of either 10, 20 or 30 minutes, and if you want to wake up at a certain time you can program it to start warming up before your alarm goes off. The other two sounds, the chimes and the beeps, were okay, but a bit harsh for my personal tastes: I am NOT a morning person.

When the alarm sounds, touch the sensor surface (speaker surface on the top of the device) for 3 seconds, or press the Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 button, to switch off the alarm. The same principle is used in light therapy to treat SAD , from which around six per cent of us suffer. Giving you a better chance of not waking up on the wrong side of the bed, the Beurer Wake-Up Clock uses light to signal to your brain to release those morning waking hormones, helping to make getting out of bed easier.This is designed to combat the sudden, startling awakening of a regular alarm clock, which releases cortisol and can potentially lead to bad mood and inertia. Wake-up lights are generally meant to simulate a natural transition rom dark to light and vice-versa. Sunrise alarm clocks mimic gradually strengthening sunlight, which you can sense through closed eyelids. Suzanne is interested in all fitness and wellbeing-related products, as well as everything lifestyle. In the morning, the alarm clock with gentle imitation of the sunrise and an invigorating melody or radio makes it easier to wake up gently.

You can either connect this to a USB power point, or into a mains socket using the included plug adapter. I was a little sceptical about how effective this ‘treatment’ might be but I actually found myself more awake and concentrated better than ever while using it - much better than the effects of a coffee.
