Ross LED Alarm Clock

Advantages: Features sunrise and sunset settings.
Disadvantages: High price, have to dim light until its off.

...The benefits of this alarm clock I personally believe will vary from person to person. It basically is an alarm clock doubled up with a bedside lamp. The main feature of this device is it will switch its lamp on 30 mins before the alarm goes off and slowly glow to full brightness. The idea being that it simulates a sun-rise which in theory is supposed to encourage your brain to release chemicals associated with waking up. The benefits of this function will be most useful to people suffering S.A.D symtoms and individuals working shifts.

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 sleep patterns by sunset and sunrise.
