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.

I love it! Felt refreshed. My 12yo tried it also, wants one now. He didnt wake up crabby.

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!

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.

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'.

My Hubby and I are not morning people at all. I get very crabby when I wake up the wrong way. We also have a 2 year old that sometimes sleeps with us. When our old alarm would go off, my Hubby would keep putting it on sleep. I would wake up and if our two year old was in our bed, he would wake up. It would start our morning out bad. The Philips Wake-up Light has improved how we wake up. By the time the sunrise cycle is over, my Hubby and I feel relaxed and we are in better moods. I also like the bedside lamp and have replaced my old bedside lamp. I also appreciate how user friendly it is. It was so easy to set up. It is nice to wake up without being crabby, I have been really enjoying the benefits of the Philips Wake-up Light . My favorite part about the Philips wake up light is how more energized my Hubby and I feel in the morning. Also when my son does end up in our bed, it doesn't scare him and wake him up.

I love this alarm clock. It is so much easier to wake up to than a regular alarm clock. I wake up refresehed and ready for the day. The only negative i have is I can't stand the chirping birds. My husband had them on 2 days in a row and I wanted to throw it out the window. I absolutely love the light as a night light/ reading light. The slow light prgression in the AM is the perfect wake up with the soft radio for me. Everyone should get on of these.

The Philips HF3480 promises to wake one gently from a night's sleep. And that's exactly what it does for me. During the 30 minutes before the alarm's set wake-up time, the Philips' lamp gradually increases in brightness, to a user set level, until one simply wakes up with (or without) the help of a pleasing audible alarm. Out of the box, the unit has a sleek appearance; most unlike a typical alarm clock. For now, the Philips has a home on top of a hard back book on my night stand. Nothing wakes my husband up but this does the trick.

I've been using this for 2 weeks and the light makes a huge difference in being able to wake up easily and gently. I find myself waking up gradually as soon as the light starts to come on and I've been able to get up in the morning without the usual grogginess. I tried the chirping birds alarm but found it really annoying, so I switched over to the radio alarm and that's working out much better for me. It was easy to set up, is easy to use, and I like the lever on the side that's convenient to reach out and use to turn off the alarm. The only thing I don't really like is the bulky size and appearance. It takes up a lot of space on my nightstand and doesn't really fit in with the decor. Other than the appearance, I really like the way it works and would recommend it.

I love this product! I have a difficult time waking up about half of the year, when it's still very dark outside in the mornings. The light gradually getting brighter works very well to wake me up gently, but also feeling more refreshed than when I use my regular alarm clock. I did have to set the alarm time later, though, because even with the light intensity at its lowest setting, I'd wake up shortly after the light came on (which was too early). So I set the alarm for about 15 minutes later than I really want, and that wakes me up at the correct time. I do like the birds sounds, and hubby has commented now several times that he really likes the light and the birds : )

The Philips Wake Up Light Alarm clock is a very innovative product. It has completely changed my mornings. I can wake up easier and feel more awake. I never liked being jolted awake with an alarm clock. This product wakes me up slowly yet is very effective. Now my alarm clock doesn't wake my still sleeping fiance. I will never think of using an old school alarm clock again. I think this product is good for all ages and everyone should have one of these. I also like that I get an option of how bright the lamp is and if I want to wake up to nature sounds or by the soft sound of the radio. It did take a couple of minutes to set up the features and get it set just right. I did replace my old reading nightstand lamp with this product. I do hope they come out wig different looks and styles of these lights.

When I use this light I feel less crabby than when I use a regular alarm clock. The design is sleek and easy to use. I also love how you can use it as a night light. PLus waking up to the birds signing is so peaceful. Way better than somenigh pitched buzzing sound that my alarm clock makes! I love the light and would recommend this to anyone looking to wake up a more natural way.

Prior to using Philips Wake-Up Light I used an alarm clock. It abruptly woke me up with a loud, continous, annoying sound that I could not wait to turn off. I was so excited when I received the Wake-Up Light in the mail from SheSpeaks! It has a cool design, and many options. I set it up right away and put it to use. The first morning I used it I set it to birds chirping. I was doubtful at first because I did not think something so natural could possibly wake me up. However that first morning, and every morning after, I have awaken to the subtle light that the Wake-Up Light sets off. The bird noises usually sound after I am already awake, and the noise is not irratating like my previous alarm clock. I have to admit, it has never failed to wake me, and is a much more pleasant way to start my day. It is also very helpful that it has the digital time so I check it anytime during the night. I would recommend this product to anyone.

I was really happy when I got chosen to try the new Philips wake up light. When it arrived I was surprised by how heavy and well built it was. I knew the Phillips made great products, but this is innovative and a great alternative to waking up to a high pitch buzz. It has a variety of sounds that come with it. BUT you can also add your own sounds or music using a USB stick. This can be used as a night light as well. I have a night light in every room, and this is a night light with a wake up function! It is under $100.00, and well worth the money spent. If you are tired of waking up to loud harsh sounds, try waking up to light. You will toss out your cheap clock radio and rise by light instead.

I love this product!! I usually wake up by an alarm going off, my heart racing and a bad mood. Since using the Philips lamp I wake up naturally with light and I have the birds alarm sound too. I start my days off without a bad mood or my heart racing. I have recommended this product to everyone I know and have told all my facebook friends about it. Two friends have purchsed it and love it as much as I do. Thank you for making such a great product.
