I would give this product 10 stars! Easy to set up, nice light for reading at night. The light gradually came on then the birds lightly chirping woke me out my slumber. I felt as though I had begun to wake up for awhile, instead of a clock alarm, just suddenly blarring a beeping noise to wake up. Never a good thing. This product has me leaving my bed in the morning, feeling much calmer, refreshed, and ready to start the day. I do wish the buttons on the sides of the machine were easier to see, and perhaps a little bit bigger. I also think the product is a little to large for a night stand. The price is a bit spendy. I'am getting one for my daughter as a christmas gift. She'll love the fact that it's a light, plays music or birds chirpping, and it'll wake her up 'gradually'.

I was excited to test this product as the idea seemed intriquing. I have been using this product for the last 2 weeks and LOVE waking up with gradual light & the sounds of birds chirping, seems like I'm waking up to bright spring & summer mornings instead of these dark, drab, cold fall/winter mornings. I found the product very easy to set up and you actually have 3 choices of sounds, the birds chirping, a pleasant "spa" sound, or the actual radio, that can use to wake up in addition to the light gradually becoming brighter. I have found that I am awaking to the light before the "alarm" or sound goes off so I have a few minutes to gradually awaken, although it does also have a "snooze" button. I also like that it can be turned on & used like a regular bed lamp. The one think I do not like is the desgin of it. It is way too big & bulky for a nightstand and I also think it is expensive for a bed lamp/alarm clock.The unit does look out of place on my nightstand and actually one person I was showing it to thought it was a humidifier as they were walking into my bedroom. Overall good concept and works well but I think the design could be streamlined.

Got this in the mail about 2 weeks ago and I was excited to try it out. When I opened the package, I didn't even need the manual, I set it up on my own, which I didn't find hard to figure out, pretty simple. I been using this for a week now and I must say, it definitely helps me get up in the morning a lot easier. I'm not a morning person so you can imagine, lol. The light is bright and I wake "naturally" other than feeling slumped in the morning. I love listening to music so I like that it has a radio. I also use it as a lamp :) you can adjust the lighting which is great. The only con about it is the size. Maybe it's a bit big for my table.. Not a big deal but that's the only con I can think of. Overall it's a great product.

The first day this came my kids and I sat in the living room and tried every function! We wanted to hear all the sounds and figured it out quite easily with out having to read the instructions ( although I did read them later just cuz!) I love the gradual brightness of the light and the bird sound is just pleasant! I'm not a fan of the size or design. When I opened the box I wasn't prepared for how big it was. It is big and bulky sitting on my night stand and doesn't go with my decor. It is very noticeable, not that I want to hide it, but it takes up a good majority of my night table. It does what it is suppose to do. I can use it as a lamp as I read in bed, and I do feel good sitting by the light or being woken up by the light, but that being said tweaking the look of it or a smaller size would be nice. Although I think I saw on their website they do have a smaller version, this just happens to be what we were sent to test. My only two reasons for giving it 4 out of 5 stars is 1. the size and bulk and 2. the price, even though we were offered the discount to purchase another one it's still just not in my price range for gifts this year. I have and will continue to mention this to others.

While not the easiest to set up and use, we've finally have a way to get my son to get up by himself! We've found that we still use his radio alarm clock because his preferred radio station is and AM station. But, now that we've figured out how to synch alarms and mute the Wake Up Light, he wakes to light and his favorite station.

This light really works. I was a skeptic. But the first day I set this, I could feel the light gradually come on, and later the birds began singing. The birds get really loud by the end; it feels like they are in the bedroom with you. I really love how this works. The only negative is the design. It looks like a small humidifier. I wish it had a different appearance - I don't like the looks of it on my nightstand - doesn't exactly go with my decor. That being said, it is a piece of electronic genius.

I love this product SOOO much! I am so happy to have had the opportunity to try it!!! I just adore the levels of lighting you can choose from. I love it taking advantage of the adjustable light. I love to have it bright for reading on my beside table or super dim as a night light at night while I watch tv. It's amazingly easy to use and to set. The options for the alarm clock are great, they are all so great sounding. I like the chime. The added light leading up to your alarm time and then after is great, the gradual increase is great and helps me when I'm trying to adjust my eyes and get my robe and slippers on. Having this light in Maine at the start of the winter and at the time of daylight savings is just great. I've loved trying it and would truly miss this product if it was gone. My only complaint is that I wish it had an additional alarm setting for my husband. The dim light has been nice on days when he needs to get up and I don't because it's just enough light for him to see around the room without disturbing me and then he just shut it off when he's done. It's great. The clock I used previous to this had very large #s which I loved...I do miss that, but it doesn't change that I love this product, although if a new version came out with a bigger screen I'd buy it for sure!

I really want to like this, but both my husband & I wake up almost immediately upon the light turning on and then we feel jipped that we missed out on 20-25 minutes of extra sleep. We just haven't gotten used to waking up earlier in the half hour "sunrise cycle" yet. This aside, I do wake up without feeling like I used an alarm and my husband is feeling more energetic in the mornings. I LOVE the lamp aspect of the light. I use it all the time before bed. I also appreciate that it seems to have a back up power source of some sort as the power went off last night and when it came back on the clock still kept all of the settings I had set. We are still experimenting with it to see if we can get used to it.

I am not a morning person either. I love to sleep and could roll over and go back to sleep all morning long. However, I need to be at work at 7:00 A.M. I often sleep with my curtins open so on the weekends I can wake up to the daylight when I want to get up. During the week it's dark when I need to get up. Currently I wake up to a rhythmic tone from my ITouch. It's not startling or loud. Usually I wake up before the alarm. That doesn't mean I want to get up though. I am a bit skeptical that I will feel any differently upon waking than I do currently. I just set up my Philips Wake Up Light today and am anxious to see how I feel this week upon waking each day.

I have always had a hard time waking up in the morning during the fall and winter months because there just is not enough light to wake me up.Now since I have been using the Philips Wake-up Light,that has changed for me. The gradual light it gives off really helps wake me up naturally just like the way the sun does when it comes into my room in the spring and summer mornings and it helps give me the boost of energy I need to get out of bed.The sound of the birds also help it seem more natural for me,I love that. The Philips Wake-up Light is by far a much better way to wake up rather than using an ordinary alarm clock and I could never go back to using one now that I have tried the innovative light therapy. I beleive that this product is the answer for those who have a hard time waking up in the morning due to lack of sunlight and who also have a hard time waking up from an ordinary alarm clock .The Philips Wake-up Light could be their better morning.

It's just like waking up to the sun naturally rising.It provides a more pleasant way to start the day.No abusive ear beating alarm, piercing your ear drums and putting you in an instant bad mood, like most alarm clocks.I love it and recommend it to anyone whose bedroom windows do not face the natural rise of the sun.or for anyone who hates to wake up to that obnoxious sounding alarm clock.Great product.

On day 2 of using the wake up light and so far so good! Easy set-up and directions. I am NOT a morning person and do not hear "real alarms". Love the way it gradually comes on and wakes up slowly, it makes for a gentle natural awakening. I selected the birds for the first day and the tones for the second, birds were more effective for me, so far, will try the radio next. Would like to have more options of sounds or at least have the bird sounds be a bit different, perhaps a mockingbird through all of it's calls? seems that the bird calls on there now end sort of at an "odd" time, right before it starts to repeat.

This is a great alarm. It has helped me wake up easier and the alarm slowly getting louder is a great feature. I do wish there were differant alarm sounds but that would not stop me from using this product and reccomending it to a friend. I love being able to use this for a night light however if the lamp is left on to long it gets very hot. I would be worried to leave it unattended

I have been using the Philips Wake up Light for a week... and I love it. Fall and Winter is always so dark and grey, the wake up light in the morning makes a such a difference. Before the wake up light I would wake up 15 minutes before I had to get out of bed and turn on a light to help my body adjust but not anymore the Philips Wake up light helps my body wake up gradually.
