Does sunlight lamp alarm work?

[EugeneTheSage]

It is autumn now and the dawn begins later, and so is start to wake up later. Whereas before I was waking up at 06 AM, now I wake up at 07:30. Because of this I don't have enough time to do full yoga session before work. It is so crucial for me to have high quality of morning routine - my career is depended on it.

I like the idea of gadgets improving my life. You just pay for it and it increases your efficiency.

Quick intro: sunlight lamp alarm are designed to imitate dawn and thus helping you wake up more easily.

Does someone had bought sunlight alarm before? What is your experience: how much does it helps you to wake up? How long after it turning on (how strong the exposure, how fast it was increasing) was it most easy to wake up? 1hr, 30mins?

I would opt for a budget one and try how it would work for me?

I use a timeswitch, which sets off a lamp on my nightstand. Most of the times it wakes my up slowly and I turn of my alarm clock before it gets triggered 15 minutes later. Even if I did not wake up before, I am in a more wakeful state when the alarm goes off.

That's my experience, but you mean a different thing, a lamp that uses a special kind of light wavelength too I guess.

When I would have a house I would definitely invest in automatic curtains so that I have completely dark room at night and natural sunlight at dawn
