Does the piercing sound of an alarm beep just make you wince when you think about it? You are not alone. Many people suffer each day with that bothersome beep because they are unaware that there are other alarm options. Yes, there is another way that is just as reliable as a traditional "beep" alarm to assist in waking; it is called a dawn simulator.
A dawn simulator uses a different type of technology to assist in waking, it is called light therapy. Light therapy is very powerful, and has been used in a variety of different situations to improve mood, boost energy, and enhance overall quality of life. It is a fact that the body naturally responds positively to light. For example, sunlight naturally aids in the production of endorphins (cheerful hormones in the brain) and plays a major role in giving people a sense of "well-being" and overall happiness. Light therapy has been used for centuries to assist in both mental and physical ailments, so it is time-tested and true.
The Soleil sun alarm is a great dawn simulator. This alarm simulates a natural sunrise right in the solitude of your own bedroom. The Soleil alarm features a special built-in light which gradually increases in intensity to imitate a natural sunrise so your body can wake instinctively from the light. This type of technology, known as light therapy, not only focuses on natural methodologies to encourage waking, but has also shown many positive results. Many people who have made the transition from a typical alarm clock to a dawn simulator alarm clock are more than satisfied and have great things to say.
For example, Julie from Clearwater, Florida says,
"Every day I dreaded waking up from that horrible beep alarm. I would pop up out of bed like a cork from a bottle. I was started and bewildered each morning, it was awful. Finally, I thought enough is enough; I want to start my day out good instead of like this. I bought a sun alarm and could not be happier. I wake up peacefully each morning, and it honestly creates a whole better rhythm and mood that carries through my whole day."
There are a few varieties of dawn simulators, but the Soleil Sun Alarm seems to be the finest on the market. This sun alarm features a super bright krypton bulb, AM/FM radio, snooze button, easy to read digital display and a few "extras." One of the "extras" is the sunset setting which mimics the light from a natural sunset and is great for use at bedtime in a child's bedroom. Furthermore, this alarm also comes equipped with a handy nap timer which can be set anywhere from 15 to 120 minutes.
This alarm clock really works. However, if you are still a bit apprehensive on whether you will wake up from the dawn simulator light, there is an option on the alarm to also trigger the traditional sound alarm in conjunction with the dawn simulator for your peace of mind.
There are better and more relaxing ways to start the day. Get rid of that old "beep" alarm and welcome each day using a sun alarm which will help you to wake more revitalized, relaxed, and ready to start your day.
