The Philips Wake-up Light helps you wake up more pleasantly.The light intensity of the lamp gradually increases to the set level in the 30 minutes before the set wake-up time.The light gently prepares your body for waking up at the programmed time.To make waking up an even more pleasant experience, you can use natural wake-up sounds or the FM radio. The effects of the Wake-up Light The Philips Wake-up Light gently prepares your body for waking up during the last half hour of sleep. In the early morning hours our eyes are more sensitive to light than when we are awake. During that period the relatively low light levels of a simulated natural sunrise prepare our body for waking up and getting alert. People who use the Wake-up Light wake up more easily, have a better overall mood in the morning and feel more energetic. Because the sensitivity to light differs per person, you can set the light intensity of your Wake-up Light to a level that matches your light sensitivity for an optimal start of the day. For more information about the Wake-up Light, see www.philips.com.
