Researchers at Lumie say that by simulating sunrise, the alarm clock offers a more natural way to wake up, which can help to combat SAD and winter blues as well as improve sleep.
The British company has spent more than 30 years researching how to help people reconnect with their natural rhythms for better sleep, mood and energy levels.

The Lumie Sunrise Alarm can help sleepers wake up gradually, with different settings to choose from.
Users can experience a warm, white light for the sunrise and sunset along with a choice of six other colours to suit their mood: green, red, blue, pink, orange or light blue.
It can also be used as a bedside light, with 10 light levels to choose from.
As well as the light, sleepers can be alerted to wake up by a beeping noise or one of five natural sounds. A snooze feature allows an extra five minutes of shut eye.
A similar product is the Beurer Wake Up Light which is also currently on offer with £10 off its usual price of £79.99 at Currys. The light is now £69.99 and also mimics the sunrise with a gentle glow to wake the user up. It can also be set to play the radio or gentle music so sleepers can choose how they wake up.
Another option, at the cheaper end of the market, is The Range Simulated Sunrise LED Alarm Clock with Colourful Atmosphere Light. At £34.66, it also mimics the sun rising to wake the sleeper up from their slumber. It has an LED display to show the time, and offers multiple alarm sounds to be chosen from.
The Lumie alarm clock has received rave reviews on Amazon, where it has a solid 4.2 out of 5 star average rating. One said: “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.”
Another wrote: “Excellent alarm clock, looks great on the bedside cabinet. There are several wake up sounds to choose from and I particularly like the bird song which is much nice and gentle to wake up to. The light can be adjusted from brighter to dull plus the choice of different colours to suit your mood.”
And one said it would make a great gift for a loved one, adding: “I am so glad I invested in this lamp- it has so many great features, including a sunrise and sunset light feature to gradually wake you and wind down for bed. This would be the perfect self care gift to yourself or a loved one!”
However one user said they found the light too dull, writing: “It definitely does wake me up gently which is nice, however, the light could be brighter.”
And another said: “It does all it’s meant to do. I like the clock but it takes a couple of days to get used to the settings but once you do, it’s easy.”
