Amerzam Wake Up Light Alarm Clock Lamp Alarm Clock Radio Sunrise Alarm Clock Fading Sunset with 7 Colors Sleep and Wake Up with PM Radio Light Alarm Clock Alarm Clock for Sleep Kids,Adults (White)

I find waking up to a light is much less jarring than a regular alarm clock. I bought this because I liked the idea of the light gradually getting brighter, that you could choose how long it took for the light to get bright, and that you could set the final brightness. In theory this all sounds great, right?The problem is that even the lowest light level (when it first comes on) is bright enough to wake me up. And, if you set it to gradually brighten over time, you can't hit 'snooze' until it's reached it's maximum brightness, because that's the 'alarm' time. Example: I set the alarm for 6 am, with 20 minutes of light increase. The (surprisingly bright) dim light comes on at 5:40, wakes me up, and I can't hit snooze until 6 am. The other issue is that you can't NOT have sounds to accompany the light. They give you a variety of sounds to choose from, but for me the whole point of getting this clock was to NOT wake up to noise.I've only had it for a couple of weeks, and I'm still playing with the settings. I don't think I'll ever be in love with it, but I do like it better than a traditional alarm clock.

This has been a pretty neat device for someone who stopped using an alarm clock years ago because it didn't help me to wake up. However, I do have a few complaints. The birdsong sound, which is my preference for waking up, is noticeably repetitive. The sound sample needs to be longer and with fewer percussive moments. Also, I wish that once the light is on in the morning or would stay on until you manually shut it off. Same for the sound. Also, it could be a good deal brighter and, conversely be capable of more steps and lower light levels at the dim end. Also, when you are trying to fall asleep at night (which I really never needed help with) the notches in the decreasing sound level are noticeable and distracting.Memory function is awesome, since you can take it with you and not have to reset time and alarm settings, as long as you stay within the same time zone (as I seem to always do, regrettably) and the USB out port is a nice touch. Wish it had two.

SO... I have been using the same alarm clock since I was 15... which was YEARS ago!! It's one of those old clunky brown clock radios. It's huge, tacky, when the music goes off in the morning is sounds like a scratchy disaster and definitely doesn't match my beautiful grey and white modern bedroom. I have been refusing for years to replace it because it works and why would I fix something that is working... WELL it finally gave out, #RIP, my husband was very happy about this! I was sad at first. I didn't want to shop for a new one. then I started searching on Amazon, and I found this one! I got it all set up and ready to use right when I got it, reluctant to of course... the next morning this beautiful thing lit up and oh my goodness I instantly regretted not retiring my old brown POS years ago!!!If you're like me and you have a old hideous alarm clock do your spouse a favor and listen to them when they say throw it away and buy another one! because let me tell you not only do i regret my decision but my husband is not letting me live this down!!I love this thing!! Get you one too!!

Great to wake you up without the startling sound of an alarm clock. Waking up gently and gradually starts my day on a positive note. I have noticed I am happier and more positive throughout my day.Pros: The variety of settings and choices in colors, sounds, lengths of time from when alarm starts dim and softly and increasing to bright and loud.Cons: Due to all the choices, there are a lot of buttons and combinations of buttons to get the settings where you want them to be. I have referenced the user manual several times when I've wanted to make changes. Not immediately user friendly.All-in-all, I recommend this Sunrise Alarm Clock and would order it again.

This is such a beautiful way to wake up. Peaceful. I set it, and the "sunrise" begins 30 min before I need to get up. You can set the sunrise process to begin in less time than that if you want, as well. The nature sound begins once the sunrise stops at the time you set. So if you set the alarm for 6:30 with a 30 min window, then the light starts at 6:00 and when it's fully "risen" at 6:30, the nature sound will begin, to reinforce waking up.I love this alarm. Great value compared to other similar clocks. Works great. The nature sounds are nice, but would love to hear a longer recording before it loops and replays. As it is, the loop is so short that you hear the redundancy within a few seconds but considering I love everything else, I will make do with this. Also love that you can completely dim/turn off the red clock display if you like a completely black room at night.

Yup, this is the time that looks and sounds like Christmas because of Mother's day. So I bought this and I will be getting more gifts in the following days. So I decided to try it as my mother is not good with manipulating/ make it to work devices so I have to do it on my own. So I was surprise that the wake up Alarm projects around 6-7 different beautiful colors. I like devices that changes colors and so my mom do as well. She will be very excited about this but she doesn't know she is getting this and other gifts for mother's day. :) It is very very pretty and I want one for me too.

I thought this light/alarm clock would simulate the “sunrise” since I wake up at 5am and have difficulty getting out of bed in pitch black. I thought it would light up the whole room like sunshine, but it really is the same brightness as my nightstand lamp. The light goes on gradually to slowly wake you, but for me it’s not bright enough so I don’t notice it at all until the alarm wakes me up. Also, when I stop the alarm from chirping, the light goes off, so it doesn’t help me when the room goes dark again and I want to stay in bed!! Would have been cheaper to get a timer for my lamp. I still use it, but it did not meet my expectations.
