This Verilux Rise & Shine Wake Up Lamp, billed as a ‘natural’ alarm, is designed to gently pry your eyelids apart in the morning by slowly increasingly light intensity until you’re forced to chuck a pillow over the thing. Sorry, forced to get up. As alarm clocks go, it’s pretty benign, but let’s face it, any clock is the enemy at the wrong time of the day. $99.95.
The Verilux VA05WW1 Rise & Shine Natural Wake-Up Light aligns the body’s circadian rhythms that regulate normal sleeping and waking patterns. Synchronized sleep and wake programs provide the body with cues to fall asleep naturally, sleep soundly and wake refreshed and revitalized. The harmonious blend of light and sound therapy naturally directs the body to energized waking and healthy sleeping patterns.
