Lumie Bodyclock Glow 150 praised for gentle wake-ups

The Lumie Bodyclock Glow 150, a sunrise alarm clock that uses natural light to wake sleepers gradually, is currently available for £91.49, down from £119, on Amazon. More than 1,000 units have been purchased in the past month.

Features and Design

The device mimics a real sunrise and sunset using mixed LEDs and offers fully dimmable bedroom lighting. Shoppers can choose 20, 30, or 45-minute sunrise options and set the final light intensity. A fading sunset option helps users unwind in the evenings, and the clock includes 10 sleep/wake sounds, including white noise. A tap-control function allows for snoozing, and the display auto-dims based on light sensitivity.

The Lumie Bodyclock Glow 150 has an average rating of 4.4 out of five stars from over 1,300 Amazon reviews. One customer, a nursing student, said: "Lumie is wonderful in winter mornings, providing gradual light to wake up the body slowly. Every day since using Lumie, I have woken up refreshed and more ready for the day." Another reviewer noted: "It does do the job to wake me up gently and better than my blaring phone alarm."
