This approach feels more natural and may be more effective at helping you feel less groggy when you wake up. One idea is to make them less intense and more blue, blue light having a more powerful effect on the retina. If your location does not observe daylight saving time at all, or if the there will be no changes to the timer between now and the date you count down to, all the options will work the same way.

If you choose this option, the system will ignore the fact that one hour is added or removed because of DST.

By using a simulated sunset feature, they create a relaxing environment that aids in falling asleep faster and achieving a more restful night's sleep.

We also like that you can set multiple alarms during the week and that the sunset component comes with the option of several “wind down” routines.

The same principle is used in light therapy to treat SAD , from which around six per cent of us suffer.

There's also a guided breathing exercise where a voice instructs you when to take in breaths, hold them, and release them over a soothing track in the background, and it gets me in the mood for bed every time. There are 33 wake up sounds including two specific types of lark, various nature scenes, city hubbub and my new personal favourite, military drill.

We’ve tested a handful of sunrise alarm apps, and found they tended to have mixed reviews and emit meager light compared with a dedicated sunrise alarm clock. However, as Philips’s product development team wrote to us, the clocks are “tested to last for seven years with regular use.

I actually tested this one on my retired mother, a naturally happy person who gets terribly blue in the winter. There’s no getting away from the fact that sunrise alarm clocks are often chunky things, taking up the majority of your bedside table.We also disliked that each model’s control buttons are inconveniently located on the face of the device, requiring you to stabilize the machine with both hands before pressing any button (no small feat in the middle of the night). This timer switch features a white color and it ensures that lights and fans are only on when needed, conserving energy and lowering electricity bills as a result. The light closely simulates sunrise in both strength and hue and has been registered with the MHRA as a way to combat SAD.

Wake-up lights have gained popularity for a good reason -just scroll through the reviews… And have we mentioned Lumie invented the world first-ever wake up light in 1992?

A 2015 PLoS Biology study on mice suggests that the more natural the light, the more effective it is at shifting the internal circadian clock. Wake-up light alarm clocks are also a good choice for people who use earplugs for sleeping, since you don’t need to hear them for them to wake you up. Lumie Bodyclock wake-up lights, use a gradual increase in light intensity along with smooth colour changes from red, orange to warm-white to simulate a natural sunrise. It lasts for about 12 hours on a charge, which is more than enough for a night's sleep, but it was annoying have to recharge it constantly. There is very little learning curve: Just load the Light app onto your smartphone, and plug the lamp into an outlet.
