Wake Up Light Sunrise Alarm Clock for Kids, Heavy Sleepers, Bedroom, with Sunrise Simulation, Sleep Aid, Dual Alarms, FM Radio, Snooze, Nightlight, Daylight, 7 Colors, 7 Natural Sounds, Ideal for Gift

I was on the fence for years about a sunlight alarm clock, I hate waking up in the morning. This is literally the best alarm clock I've ever had and so many features. You can have two alarms so weekdays vs weekends, or just two different wakeup times. The sleep function has a separate volume than the wakeup function which, probably standard in 2024?, but the first alarm clock I've seen to actually do that. I never understood how you use the sleep function on low volume then wake up ...Anyway the light changes to several different colors if desired, can be used as a lamp if desired, and the process of waking up with the light is gradual. It actually works, even when I sleep with my head all wrapped up it still gets the mind prepared for waking before being super abrupt.

I have wanted a sunrise/sunset simulation alarm for years but could never justify it while I was a college student. Now that I have been out of school for a few years and settled into my career I finally took the plunge and I am so happy that I did. This is one of the most valuable purchases I have made in my adult life.Getting up in the morning has never really been difficult for me. I am an early bird for sure. I haven't slept in past 9 in probably 5 years. In the summer I usually bound out of bed as the sun rises. In the winter? Not so much. It is dark and cold and even the most gentle alarm from my phone would jarr me awake. I have had this alarm for about 2 weeks now and it is the dead of winter and I have woken up feeling refreshed every morning, which translates to more energy and focus throughout my day.I really like the design. It is simple and minimal - something I am slowly transitioning more of my life towards. It was also really easy to set up. Those reviews saying it was too hard and giving it a bad review obviously didn't read the instructions. I skimmed through the manual and had it figured out in about 10 minutes.The front display has adjustable brightness which is a huge plus. There are 3 settings: bright, middle, and off. I keep mine in the middle. I appreciate that the display is an orange color - not blue or white. Less pain to the eyes if you have to check it in the middle of the night.You can set 2 different sunrise alarms which is helpful since I wake up later 2 days off my week and like that I don't have to reprogram it for those mornings, I just hit the button for which alarm I need. The sunrise alarm can be adjusted in a variety of ways:- time (duh)- alarm sound (I like the bird song but there are a handful of other choices)- brightness level: it always starts from off then you can adjust how bright it gets by the time the alarm actually starts at you programmed time.- how far before your alarm it begins to brightenI have my "sunrise" programmed to start 15 minutes before my alarm is set to start. It goes from off to a deep red/orange to yellow and finally to white. The maximum brightness will absolutely light up a whole room. That is a bit much for me so I have it turned back just a little. I am typically awake sometime around yellow. This wakes me up so much more gently and I have a few minutes in bed before the "alarm" of birdsong actually gets me up. So I am awake before my alarm most days and getting out of bed right after my alarm goes off. No more poking at my phone for 10 minutes trying to get myself out of bed in the morning.The "sunset" can also be programmed, however there is only one setting, not 2 as with the morning alarms. It can be adjusted to your liking in the following ways:- how long the "sunset" lasts- starting brightness- sounds played (less options here than the sunrise but more relaxing, I like the rain the most)From the starting brightness that you program over the designated amount of time it slowly dims from white to yellow to orange to red and finally off. I have mine set for 20 minutes and I typically read a paper book as the blue light from screens is counter-productive. Once I stop being able to easily read that is usually about when my body is drifting towards sleep. It finished darkening while I snuggle fully into bed and off I go to dreamland.It does have the ability to change the color of the light but the default works just fine for me.I absolutely love this product. I do have 2 small qualms but nothing to take away from a 5 star review. I notice it more in during the "sunset" but the transition from light to dark is not very smooth, I definitely notice it click down with each level. It may be due to my settings and I will see if having a longer period of time to transition from light to dark with smooth that out. My other issue is in the mornings. Once my alarm goes off and it is at full brightness I wish there was a way to turn off the alarm sound but keep the light on. There is a "snooze" button but I haven't tried it yet so I may experiment with that.In the short time I have had this product I can honestly say it has changed my morning routine and also the effects on the rest of my day. My sleep is more restful and waking up is so easy. It has really helped my mental health and I literally cannot stop raving about it to friends and family. If you are considering purchasing a product like this I highly recommend starting here. There are more much more expensive models but this one is accessible and user friendly.

This review is for the Wake Up Light Sunrise Alarm Clock for Kids, Heavy Sleepers, Bedroom, with Sunrise Simulation, Sleep Aid, Dual Alarms, FM Radio, Snooze, Nightlight, Daylight, 7 Colors, 7 Natural Sounds, Ideal for Gift sold by Jall StoreI needed a reliable clock not tied to my smart phone and it's flaky battery and really wanted to try a sunrise clock but didn't want to spend over $100 to discover I didn't like them. So here I am... Overall, I'm enjoying the concept. The light output is more than enough and the light color range is also nice (soft warm glow to bright white which you can limit when you set the alarm). I initially chose use a 20 minute wake up cycle (light only, full spectrum, no sound), and I've woken a few times just 5-10 min into the cycle (no alarm sound). Absolutely love those days. I've also slept through it because my pillow was over my head... Since, I really can't afford to not wake up on time, I decided to utilize the build in alarm sounds.Glancing through the list, Ocean caught my eye. I though Ocean would be nice, and at first, it sounded fantastic. Crashing waves, rhythmic - not too fast, and not too slow, not high pitched - just a good ocean wave crashing on beach sound. I though I'd found the perfect match to my sunrise - yes, Zen was in my grasp. Then a few seconds into the track the @#$@ seagulls start squawking. Seriously, why? Have you ever spent time around Seagulls, they're loud, obnoxious and they'll steal anything they can carry. That's not what I want to wake up to in the morning. What's next, soundtracks for a crowded beach, or maybe a sinking supertanker blasting it's horn or a lighthouse fog horn at point blank range so my ears can bleed? You had one job...Unfortunately, the other offerings followed the same pattern - all seemed just as harsh (too high pitched, disruptive and not in tune with a soft sunrise IMO).- birds chirping in the morning - yes, I know birds chirp in the morning. At my house, they're in a tree, over 20 yards away and not trying to be reproduced out of an alarm clock speaker less than a foot from my ears.- stream sound (like a steady peaceful river flow sound) - again too high pitched and too fast IMO.- windbells - I'm just going to stop you there and note in this case word combo should be wind CHIMES - as in mid-high pitched chimes and not those lovely lower pitched bells that your verbiage implies- piano music - Not even once in my life have I wished to wake to a piano (or for that matter drums, trumpets or triangles)Ok, I'm a bit over the top on these alarm sounds, but you get the point. I'm not a fan of this part of the clock. There's a lot of opportunity for improvement.My answer was to set alarm 1 with no sound, alarm 2 follows later with sound... If alarm 1 doesn't gently wake me like it should, alarm 2 certainly will, but I'm going to have a rushed morning..Does it have an FM radio, yes. Will you want to use it - I seriously doubt it.Per JALL's reply in the Q/A section of this product when asked about the Radio:Please know that when you hold the radio button down, the clock will scan all the available stations automatically and save them as P-01/P-02/P-03 and so on ( up to 10 channels ). You don't need to do anything until it finishes the process.After finishing, the clock radio will select P-01 channel by default. If you want to change channel, please hold "+"/"-" to select P-02/P-03 and another channelJust 10 channels? no way to delete unwanted channels to keep scanning the higher frequencies to reach the channel you want? Where I live, 10 channels doesn't even reach the first decent rock or country station. However, I'm pretty sure this isn't the new digital FM frequency tuners, so 10 might just cover it all in a few more years.Despite what I feel are failures in the extra features, from a basic standpoint - an alarm clock that simulates sunrise & a 30 min sunset it works, and it works quite well. Yes, better alarm sounds and a functional radio tuner would have been nice, but I'm still happy with my purchase. They also include a bunch of labels/stickers so you can choose to label the clock controls (or not), and you can choose if you want them to be seen when the lamp is glowing or just put them on the opaque body (other side of the inputs). So, for these reasons, I'll give it 4 stars and keep using it until something better comes along.
