Wake-up Light

I work the night shift (5pm-5am) and have to have my windows blacked out from sunlight. I worked this shift for over a year, waking up to the scream of my alarm clock in a pitch black room. Then I saw this advertised. That was a year ago. With the degrees of increasing light and soothing (if you choose) wake-up alarms, I wake up much easier and not as annoyed or groggy. I've already told most of my other coworkers about this, as I find it amazing for working the night shift.

I purchased the Phillips product almost a year now and it is simple to use and the adjustable light help me wake up with ease in the morning, especially in the winter time where the light I little to none in the north. I have recommended this several times to coworkers and friends where they too have experienced the same enjoyed result. For what it I worth, I highly recommend this product

I've been using the wake-up light for about four years. It was gifted to me by a client in the darkest days of winter (I am a personal trainer and get up long before sunrise). At the time, I was living in Boston so it was extra dark. Wicked daahhk, some might say. The light really does begin to lull you out of sleep before the alarm goes off, and the gentle nature sounds or chimes are so much nicer than buzzing, beeping, or static-y radio, especially if you wake up to regular radio where you might catch a commercial. It's much less jarring and makes for a much more pleasant morning. If you are not a morning person, you should try this. ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR PEOPLE WHO WAKE UP IN THE DARK.

I wake up happier and much more peaceful to the natural light and zen chimes!

I love waking up gradually. I'm usual awake before the alarm sounds. My mood has been great, awake and ready to start the day. The dusk feature also helps me to fall deeper asleep easier. Most nights I'm asleep before the light is completely out. I recommed this product to anyone. Wake up is easier even at 3am!

In spite of getting nine hours of sleep a night, my 11-year old son has extreme difficulty waking in the morning for school. Last year I was thinking he was bi-polar, he would wake up in a rage like it was the middle of the night and he was still in deep, deep sleep. I had a sleep study conducted and found that his sleep cycles are off. When he should be in a light stage of sleep in the morning, he was still dreaming away like it was 4 a.m. Out of desperation (and I do mean desperation), I researched and discovered this amazing light. The light starts to go on half an hour before my son's alarm goes off. It gets brighter and brighter, just like the sun coming up, and at 7 p.m. the alarm goes off--in his case, we chose the chirping birds. The birds sound very real, and the pleasantness of waking to gradual light (which tells your brain, "time to wake up!") allows him to register that it is in fact, time to wake up. He says "it's like camping," which made me laugh, because we live in the city. The radio feature is also good, because once I go in into his room, I turn off the "birds," and turn on the radio for him, and the music gets him going, as well. This product is not cheap, but it is worth every dime for all the good mornings I now have gettng my son out of bed and off to school on time with a smile on his face. Last year we were often in tears and completely stressed out before we even left the house. I would have paid five times what I paid for this lamp if I knew it would improve our situation. If you've had similar experiences, then you know what I'm talking about and I'm sure you would agree. You can't put a price tag on something that ensures your sanity :)

I currently have the 3485 wake-up light, but I prefer the energy saving bulb. I really enjoyed this wake-up light, especially since at the time I had to wake up early in the morning to be at work a few hours before the sunrise. I recieved the 3485 as a replacement for the 3480 because the radio was going off and on by itself. I would have had it replaced with another 3480, but it was unavailable. I enjoy the 3485 also, which has nice features.

I love the gentle way the light and radio starts my day. And the Zzzz feature gradually dims and lulls me to bed each night. I love this product. It makes a positive difference in my life everyday.

This light is indispensable in the fall and dark winter months! I will never be able to go without it again! Philips-please engineer a travel-size version!!!!

I love this wake up light. I'm so spoiled to waking up with the light gradually coming on. Most of the time I wake up gently before the alarm goes off. This is the second lamp I've owned and hope I never have to do without it again. I also like the different sounds to choose from as wake up calls. It is a luxury item to me, but oh so worth it.
