Lumie Bodyclock Classic Sunrise Alarm Clock

...I purchased my Lumie Bodyclock Advanced about 6 weeks ago for £99.00 from Boots, which seems to be a fairly standard price, but some online retailers also include a free "Snore Free" gadget for that price - which I do not need myself - honest. Lumie Bodyclocks are aimed at people who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (or SAD). SAD does affect quite a number of the population and an even greater number have some symptoms, or winter blues. One ...
...The special bulbs for the lumie clock retail at £4.95. Also see Ciao links for other stockists. I have had to deal with customer services already as I had some damage (glass breakage) to the clock, and I got a replacement part within 24 hours, which I think is pretty exceptional. (Note there is NO Radio on the Bodyclock Advanced, despite the classification on here..) ...

Review of Lumie Bodyclock Classic Sunrise Alarm Clock

...am a fan of the Lumie Bodyclocks having owned 3 which I will explain in a moment. I bought my first one about 3 years ago and I wrote a review on the Lumie sunrise bodyclock in December 2006. You are welcome to read this review and will notice that the reviews are completely different. Although the principle of the clocks are the same, there are different styles with slightly different functions and I have not copied and pasted any of the reviews. ...
...absolutely delighted with my orignal Lumie bodyclock. It really helped me through the cold dark winter. I used it all year round even though it was more beneficial in winter. One morning I was quite tired. I could hear my son downstairs and my clock read 5.30. I thought to myself for a few moments and decided that if he was up at that time he would have to stay up. If I had got up I would never have got back to sleep again and I was really enjoying ...

Review of Lumie Bodyclock Classic Sunrise Alarm Clock

I am one of these people who would be quite happy to hibernate in winter. I am not lazy, I pack a lot into my day, but come 9.30, I am ready for bed and boy, do I have trouble getting out of it. Funnily enough, when I have to get up at 5am for work, my inbuilt alarm clock wakes me up before the pneumatic drill sounding alarm. The problem is though, I am often awake every hour! The trouble I have is mainly when I have to get up at 7am to get my little ...
...I switch the pneumatic drill off at 7am and for some reason, I can`t switch on the lamp at the same time. I don`t want to get up because it is dark, 10 minutes later I am still there. I try to prooramme my brain to reach accross and turn on the lamp which is on the bedside table, right next to me. I don`t seem to be able to. This results in me getting up at 7.30 or even worse, 7.40, giving me little time to do everything, thus inducing far more stress ...

Review of Lumie Bodyclock Classic Sunrise Alarm Clock

...I had read about this Lumie Bodyclock so I decided I would get one. I was saving up for one myself but my parents surprised me by buying me one for my 18th birthday! There are three Bodyclocks to suit different needs. I have the middle of the range one. This is the Bodyclock classic with radio. I haven’t used the radio yet but I think I might in the future. ~ What is the Lumie Bodyclock? ~ The Bodyclock is an alarm clock, which stimulates natural ...
...large cover, which sits over the bulb. It helps you have a regular sleep pattern by allowing your body to go to sleep during a 30-minute sunset and wake up during a 30-minute sunrise. Despite being summer and light mornings, I decided to start using it so that I have a regular sleep pattern by the time the dark mornings arrive. As it is light outside in the mornings, I could hardly tell it was on, so I bought a black out blind for my room to get ...

Review of Lumie Bodyclock Classic Sunrise Alarm Clock

...so glad it did. The Lumie bodyclock simulates dawn, so that, even in the depths of winter you are woken to what really does feel like bright sunlight. The light quality is quite natural, due to the white shade that covers it, which has strategically placed holes in the back, enhancing the sunbeam effect. Excellent. How does it do it? Well, the clock comes with a light, which takes a small forty watt lamp. Before you go to sleep you set the light ...
...But that's not all... My Lumie bodyclock also includes a radio, which will also wake me at the pre-determined time- this is very important for me, as I am a deep sleeper and theight alone is not always sufficient to wake me. The radio will also stay on for an hour, unless turned off. Disappointingly, the sound quality on the radio is not great, and I have rarely been able to listen to it without some static also being audible. If that's going to ...

Review of Lumie Bodyclock Classic Sunrise Alarm Clock

Lumie Bodyclock 100 I have had a clock radio with buzzer for years, but lately have found the intrusive nature of the radio and buzzer annoying. It's not a great happy mood generator in the morning at the best of times, but in deep mid winter it's lousey! So I looked around at the products designed to combat S.A.D (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and came across the Lumie Bodyclock 100. This is a natural awakening alarm clock. According to general ...
...alarm, because light regulates the hormones which control our waking, thus waking with light we feel energised and in a better mood. I was definitely up for that and purchased one as quick as possible! So let me talk the product. It has a plastic silver base and an opaque white globe. The time is displayed in a green digital display. The time maybe shown in either 12 or 24 hour clock. It has 4 buttons; A Small round one marked ''P" which if used ...

Review of Lumie Bodyclock Classic Sunrise Alarm Clock

...mornings. I discovered the lumie range of clocks, and shopped around to get the best deal and invested what seemed a lot of money into an alarm clock. After 2 weeks of use I was totally convinced they not only made for a relaxing gentle start to the day, with the light gradually coming on over 30 mins to wake you. But also were improving my general mood and attitude towards cold winter mornings. A Highly recommended product. You will need to use ...
...It costs around £70, Boots, Lumie direct and John Lewis stock all models. **Occasional Boots offers may assist in reducing the price a little, I got 2.5% back of sales at Greasy Palm, 10% off for first on line order and free delivery!*** The featured version here is more advanced than the standard version (priced £60) as it has a radio and more ergonomic shape to it (somewhat clam shell shaped, if that makes sense). The most expensive version is ...

Review of Lumie Bodyclock Classic Sunrise Alarm Clock

I found this really good for 'resetting' my body clock to waking up and going to bed! You can set it to gradually start getting brighter over the period of half hour (or get dimmer ), which slowly wakes you up. I fould that it worked quite well. There is also an alarm just incase you dont wake up. I usually find that the alarm brings me to my sense, but Im more or less awake(i just dont realise it!) Def wake up feeling more alert than with just an ...
...'on' and it is quite bright, certainly good enough to read in bed. After a week or so using it i am able to go without it. There isnt much more to say about it. If you are not a morning person this can ease the 'pain'! I also find it good for helping to sleep, but if your mind is buzzing this def wont be of much help, you kind of have to be a bit tired already! As for ease of use.. its fool proof.. and quick. if your wake up time changes )for example ...
