Lumie Bodyclock Shine 300 Wake-up Light Radio Alarm

Introduction
Lumie Bodyclock wakes you naturally with a sunrise. Waking with light has been shown to improve mood, energy, productivity, and the quality of sleep and awakening.¹ Wake-up lights can also help sufferers of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and winter blues cope with dark winter mornings.² At bedtime, a fading sunset helps you naturally unwind by promoting the production of the sleep hormone melatonin.³ Lumie invented the very first wake-up light in 1993. Use all year round to encourage a regular sleep-wake pattern.
