SAD sunrise alarm recommendations please

[Gerbi1]

Please can anyone recommend a make a model that really works. I’m sick of struggling through winter feeling like I have to get up in the middle of the night.

I’m wondering if you get what you pay for or are the cheaper alternatives just as good??

TIA

Does anyone have a 10000 lux sunrise alarm?

I've had a lumie and now have a Phillips somneo which was a lot more expensive and does the same thing. I paid just over £30 for the lumie one a good few years back and I found it very good until I dropped it! Check them out on Amazon and read the reviews before you buy.

I had a daylight alarm clock but it didn't stay light long enough to wake me up properly. I've now go a timer plug on my bedside lamp which is more brutal as it's off or on rather than gently lighting up but is more effective for me.

I've had both a Lumie and a Phillips, I'd say there's little difference between them.

Much more effective for me though is a Lumie SAD lamp - I use it once I'm awake in the morning, usually while I dry my hair, do any make up etc and often just read my book for twenty minutes to wake up in front of it. Works really well.

We’ve had our lumie years not sure what make it is. I love it wakes making up so much easier on dark mornings

I've had a lumie for years, it's fab

We’ve had a Lumie for several years. The wake up light is lovely and gentle. Gradual increase in brightness that you don’t really notice. The alarm tone is vile though so I never use it and stick with my phone.

I got a Lumie 300 for Christmas and it is good. It has a sun set option too. I'll be getting a lamp for my office too.
