very dependable alarm, usually wakes me up before sound alarm.

This light worked so well for my husband. He is bipolar and has difficulties in the winter with a lack of light. The addition of light to the pleasing music makes a great wake-up for him. He actually wakes up in a good mood and feels more "alive" during the day. It is also a great night light to have in our room, along with a radio. I love this light and would recommend it to anyone!

I too am not a morning person and I always hated getting jarred awake by an alarm. I would usually just hit snooze until I woke up then we would be running late. Ever since using the Phillips Wake Up Light I have not woken up late or been behind in the morning. It feels like I am able to wake up naturally. I love the radio feature and the nature sounds. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, morning person or not!

I loved the Philips wake up light. I have a lot of trouble waking up in the morning. I have been using it for about 3 weeks now, and it makes getting up in the morning so much easier!! I like how the light gently gets brighter and how the music gets louder in increments. This light is really making a difference for me!

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!

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 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 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.

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.

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 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.

What a great way to wake up on what usually is a gray morning here in Oregon. Not only are my mornings brighter but I can actually do my nighttime reading with it. No more sleepy wake ups for me, I let the Phillips Wake Up Light get me going for the day!

The Pacific Northwest can be a very dark place, especially at this time of year. This wonder of modern technology brings more light into my life. I use the alarm consistently and have found that I am able to wake up with greater ease and in a better mood than when a sharp loud buzzing noise rings out in the dark. The unit is small enough to sit on a bedside table and I find myself using it as an ambient light in the bedroom beyond its use as an alarm clock. The same is true of the radio. I have recommended this product to many of my friends. Love it!

I won the Philips Wake-up Light through a Twitter party. For me it has the double bonus of gradually dimming at night, and gradually brightening in the morning. Not only do I have problems waking up, but I also have problems falling asleep at night. If I find myself wide awake at 2 or 3 in the morning, I just reset the sunset function and try again. I like to use it during the day because it does provide an ample boost to the lights I already had in my room. Now I can have a radio by my bed without having to worry about an extra light. I do wake up to the birds chirping, sometimes I sleep through the light (especially if my back is to the light), but the birds non-stop chirping usually does the trick.

I like the design and the idea of the light. Philips is a company I like too. So many features in just one lamp/light. Great idea and is useful for an alarm or reading/night light.
