The end of summer is nearing, and we’ll eventually head towards another clock change. Dark mornings can be unpleasant to say the least, not to mention the seasonal depression the lack of sunlight can bring.
Luckily, Amazon shoppers who tried the Lumie Sunrise Alarm say the product “has made a huge difference to getting out of bed in the morning” and that their “quality of sleep has improved tremendously“. Even better, it’s currently reduced from £49.99 to just £36.99, making this a deal you shouldn’t sleep on.
It’s designed to gently wake you up over 30 minutes by slowly brightening the room – just like a sunrise. Customers claim it “does make a difference to my mood of the day,” plus, it’s equipped with natural alarm sounds like bird song so you’ll be nudged awake instead of startled by a mechanical beeping.
Simply set your Lumie Alarm for the usual time and prepare to be calmly woken via a steady natural light that brightens over half an hour. Pick from five natural sounds or a classic beep to start your day.
Not just for waking up, the Lumie Lamp can also be used in the evening to unwind and relax. Simply enable the sunset function to allow the warm light to slowy fade over thirty minutes, automatically turning off as you doze.
As well as choosing from six relaxing colours, you can also change the brightness of your Lumie Alarm depending on your needs. The display will show you the time, while the snooze button will bag you five extra minutes kip in the morning.
One shopper who purchased the Lumie really benefited from the gentle starts: “Love it, eases you into waking. Works great and a much nicer way of waking in the morning.”
The Lumie Alarm is the top choice on Amazon for people looking to buy a sunrise clock. What’s more, this model has been bought over 600 times in the last month alone, highlighting its popularity. One happy buyer said: “I really like waking up to a brighter room & I do feel like it does make a difference to my mood of the day.”
Another customer wrote: “Since I got the Lumie sunrise alarm, I moved my mobile phone to another room and my quality of sleep improved tremendously. I can feel the difference when not being exposed to the blue light/rays from the phone. This clock/lamp is one of their most basic versions, but you honestly don’t need more than that.”
One shopper who really felt the lack of sunlight in the winter said: “Bye bye seasonal depression! This is the BEST thing I have ever bought from Amazon. Having always been interested in buying a SAD lamp I have been searching around for the best and most cost effective and this is it.”
“This has made a huge difference to getting out of bed in the morning – it’s a nice way to wake up with the increase of light. I have more motivation and energy using this” commented another buyer.
“This is a game changer in my house” wrote one mother: “My son was constantly getting up far to early. He now knows not to get up before the “sun” comes up 🙂 The bird alarm is really gentle too. We have the bigger version. Such a nice gentle way to wake up.”
While most were happy, this reviewer wrote: “This is a decent lamp/alarm although I was a bit disappointed with the small selection of alarm sounds. The lamp is decent and very bright when you turn it up fully.”
Nonetheless, another shopper said: “Great for winter when you are waking up and it is still super dark. Helped me wake before the alarm sounded as the light comes on gradually beforehand, which I love.”
