I don’t use it often, but on nights that I want to read a bit before bed instead of watching Outlander reruns, I hit the dimmer button, which essentially simulates a sunset. That’s right-this clock also has a sunset setting. Blindly scraping my hand along the carpet to find my phone (because it inevitably fell out of the bed part way through the night) and smash the off button to make the incessant beeping stop is anything but a relaxing way to start the day. Before getting the Philips light I used my phone’s alarm feature to rouse me. More importantly, the alarm is easy to turn off.
There are buttons on either side of the clock for turning the alarm feature on once it’s programmed (you can set 2 different alarms). I’ve had the Philips Wake-up Light for a few years and it’s never failed to help me wake more gently, even when I’ve had to get up at an ungodly hour to catch a flight. What I Like About the Philips Wake-up Lightīesides helping me give my tween some early am moral support, the Philips Wake-up Light has plenty of promising features. The light on its own is plenty to get me going, and I like a bit of quiet to ease into my day. You can pair the light with wake-up sounds-the usual suspects of chirping birds, gently crashing waves, and forest ambiance-or an FM radio station, but personally I don’t use them. By the time it’s gleaming white I’m already downstairs, fumbling with the coffee maker and feeding the dogs. I usually start to blink my eyes open by the time the clock’s round face is alight with a warm orange radiance. The deep red glow isn’t supposed to shout “wake up!” Instead, it’s more of a “psst. The only time I’ve actually seen the red light is when I tested the clock while awake. At its brightest setting, the light is 300 lux.
The lights range from deep red to warm white. It cycles through 20 brightness settings over 30 minutes. Unlike someone (rudely) switching on an overhead light to wake you up, the clock’s light is more of a gentle easing. The Philips Wake-up Light alarm clock does pretty much what the name says: It simulates a sunrise to help you rise and shine.
