Philips Wake Up Light Review

I was chosen by SheSpeaks to test out the Philips Wake Up Light and buzz about my experience. We received the box on Friday and we have used it 2 mornings now. Before I start my review of this product, here’s a little bit of background information on the product (from Amazon.com’s product page):

“The Philips Wake-Up Light HF3470 provides a more pleasant and natural way to wake up in the morning. Because there’s nothing worse than being jarred awake by a blaring alarm clock, the Philips Wake-Up Light, an Official Light Therapy Product of the National Sleep Foundation, wakes you in a natural way with light that increases gradually. The Wake-Up Light simulates the sunrise to help you greet the morning with an improved mood and energy level. Light gradually increases for 30 minutes before your alarm time to gently prepare your body to wake up and feel more energetic at the start of your day. With optional FM radio and nature sounds, the Wake-Up Light ensures waking up will be a pleasant experience.”

In simple terms, this alarm clock basically lights up slowly starting half an hour before you need to wake up. Then, at the alarm time, you’ll hear birds chirping, a soothing alarm sound or your favorite radio station. We chose the birds chirping. The idea is that you wake up more “naturally” rather than abruptly like with a normal alarm clock.

So what do I think about the product? I think it’s great! We had been using a cell phone for an alarm clock and it NEVER wakes me up. Phillip always had to wake me up. After using this product for just two days, I woke up to the alarm on my own AND I feel much less groggy. I think the light makes my body realize that it’s supposed to be getting up. My only complaint is that Phillip is too sensitive to the light and it wakes him up about 20 minutes too early. We could change the light intensity but then I don’t think it would wake me up. I think we need to do some more testing to be sure but as of right now, I love the Philips Wake Up Light!
