The Philips Wake-up Light helps you wake up more pleasantly. In the set sunrise simulation time
(default is 30 minutes), the light intensity of the lamp gradually increases to the set level and the light
color changes from deep morning red to bright daylight.The light gently prepares your body for
waking up at the set time.To make waking up an even more pleasant experience, you can use natural
wake-up sounds or the FM radio to wake up to.
The effects of the Wake-up Light
The Philips Wake-up Light gently prepares your body for waking up during the last 20 to 40 minutes
of sleep, depending on the sunrise simulation time you set. 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.
