I really enjoyed the philips wake up light. It really does work and makes me feel less groggy in the morning. Waking up to the bird sounds is pleasant. I would recommend this product to anyone, especially if you live in an area where the mornings are very dark.

I am enjoying using this light/alarm clock. It is larger than I was expecting it to be but now that I have been using it I appreciate using it as my bedside light- it is exactly the type of light I prefer to use bedside- contained so it is muted with no possibility of a direct bulb in my eyes. I do wish there was an option of just light turning on and no sound at all, but I guess most people wouldn't need that, but i would like it for the weekend. . .

I tried the Philips Wake up Light but it is back in it's box. I could see this working better for someone who is single or maybe for a couple who wake up together at the same time but it does not work really work too good if one person has to wake earlier than the other. It can make for some really cranky mornings. Works nice as a light to read by and a radio. Maybe it is also the years of hitting that snoose button just one more time...

this item is alot bigger than i thought it would be, but i do have to admit it works wonderfully it wakes me up gradually kind of like the sun in the summer, and i have noticed that it isnt such a jolt to my system

I really liked the Wake Up Light by Philips! Especially now since it is so dark out, it really comes in use. The only thing I have to say is, it doesn't always wake me up by light. I don't know what happened, but sometimes it just makes the sounds, no light. And also when you shut it off it still stays on. I need to fix those minor things, but besides that, I really like it and am SO happy I was able to try it!

Wow--I am amazed at how well the Philips Wake up Light works!! The alarm is gradual with both the light and the chirping of the birds (that's the one I picked!). It is nice to wake up gradually instead of all at once. It really is refreshing. I also love the settings on the light. You can have it really bright to read by. The radio actually works too--my radio on my stereo doesn't work where I live but this one does. Thanks for letting me try this wonderful product. I will definitely recommend this to my friends and family.

I love this product! My previous alarm clocks woke me with a screeching buzzer. This is a gentle wake up to the realistic sound of birds and what appears to be a bright sunny morning. I live in Idaho and in the winter the mornings are very dark until well after 7 am so this wake up light is a blessing.

I hate waiting up in the dark so the wake up light is making my mornings much nicer. I also like that it doesn't jolt you awake like most alarms. I usually use my cell phone as an alarm with just a vibrate & a song with a nice intro so this has been a good replacement. I really do like the product.

I am a person who really needs my sleep, and I am generally not happy when I have to wake up before 8 am! I am also very light sensitive. My job requires that I get up by 6 am. My boyfriend is an early-riser and a very light sleeper, so I was curious to see how this alarm would work for the two of us. I have found that I wake up more gradually and less grumpy with this alarm. I really like to wake up to the bird sounds, rather than a beep or the radio, as it is a gentle way to wake up. We have a new puppy who has been getting us up around 5:30 am, which means that I go back to bed just about the time the light begins to brighten on the clock. This has necessitated turning off the light portion of the alarm some mornings. Surprisingly, the light has not seemed to disturb my lightly-sleeping boyfriend either! I don't particularly care for the appearance of the alarm, but I have otherwise been very content with it, especially on the mornings when the puppy doesn't get me up and I can utilize both the light and sound portions of the alarm.

Thanks you SheSpeaks!!!! My husband sleeps the sleep of the dead. I have been looking for an alarm clock that will wake him for the past 20 years! Finally I have found one that wakes him and doesn't wake the entire house. This is wonderful, gentle and makes for a happier start to the day. Our entire morning routine has changed from me and the kids rotating through the bedroom with "wake up Dad"'s being shouted to "wow, is Dad already up?" Thanks again for letting me try this great product and for helping wake my grizzly bear.

The lamp is by far the best part of the whole design! The ability to adjust the brightness is wonderful! I love the lamp. I like that you can choose what sound you want to wake up to. I wouldn't say I'm sold on the product though. I don't really wake up to the alarm all the time. When I'm really tired I just sleep right through it. Soo....that's not good. I also believe the price is a little bit extreme for such a product and that's why I wouldn't recommend it to my friend.

I was very excited to try out this alarm clock but also a little hesitant about how well it would work. My husband has it set for him to wake up at about 5 am and sure enough about 15 minutes before the birds start chirping I wake up to just the light itself. It's nice and not as jarring as most alarm clocks. I am pleasantly surprised at how well it works and the fact that it doubles as a "light or nightlight" is a bonus. The best part is when he turns off the light after the alarm has gone off and I quickly fall back to sleep until it is my time to get up........would nice if it was a dual alarm.

I received the Philips Wake-up Light for review and I think it is the most awesome clock, that I have ever used! I have always dread waking-up to an alarm clock going off, but with this clock it is so much easier to wake-up. It wakes you up gradually, the Wake-up Light uses a unique combination of light and sound to wake you up in a gentle and natural way so you are ready for the day ahead. I would definitely recommend this clock!

The product was a little bigger than I would have liked for an alarm clock but I did like how I woke up more gradually rather than abrubly as with other alarm clocks. I liked the light slowly getting brighter let me wake up and the soft sound of birds- it is a good way to wake up especially in the winter in Idaho where it doesn't get light until later and you don't have birds around to chirp.

I enjoy the ease of use of this item. I like the buttons and the quick access light. I really enjoy waking up to the birds rather than my cell phone which is what I used before this arrived. I have shared this with my 16 year old son who is really difficult to awake. I think it is making things a bit easier on him although he is still difficult to awake most days. I wouldn't recommend trying to look and see what time it is with the light at full brightness, because it is rather blinding. When the light isn't on, you can read the time just fine. I have enjoyed trying this product!
