Philips Wake-up Light Has Made My Mornings Better!!

Anyone who knows me very well or has even slightly known me for a long time knows how much I am NOT a morning person. I am the kind of person who takes forever to shake off that morning foggy feeling. Lots of my friends tease me about not asking me anything hard before 10 AM.

Well it's not quite that bad, but I don't function too well in the morning and come alive late at night. So for me one of my least favorite things in the world is the alarm clock. It doesn't matte whether it is the radio, which usually has some stupid song playing when it comes on, or the horrible nerve jolting buzzer, I just don't like the thing. Oh sure I appreciate those little red digital numbers letting me know what the time is, well and maybe the snooze button, but pretty much everything else, not so much!

SheSpeaks contacted me a while back and asked me to try out a product. When I saw what it was I was intrigued. They asked me to try the Philips Wake-up Light. I read a little about it and couldn't wait to sign up and try it out.

 

It arrived and was a little bigger than I thought it would be, but I love the thing!!! It could be twice the size and I would still love it. When I read the instruction book and got it set up I was a little skeptical about how well it would work, but after several mornings I was thrilled! I wake up a little before the alarm goes off now and there is a lovely light gradually growing in my rooms. And then the birds start chirping quietly. It's wonderful, calm, peaceful ,and I am ready to go even if I didn't get as much sleep as I should have. My husband even likes it. He said that he has noticed how much more energized he feels and less jolted out of sleep than he used to feel. To me that's the best part, it just wakes you up gently.

The Phillips site has lots of wonderful information about how important good light is to goo health. It's all part of a barnacled and healthy life-style. But here is some of the basic information for you.
