The Philips Wake-up Light gently prepares your body for waking up during the last half hour of  
sleep. In the early morning hours our eyes are more sensitive to light than when we are awake.  
During that period the relatively low light levels of a simulated natural sunrise prepare our body for  
waking up and getting alert. People who use the Wake-up Light wake up more easily, have a better  
overall mood in the morning and feel more energetic. Because the sensitivity to light differs per  
person, you can set the light intensity of your Wake-up Light to a level that matches your light  
sensitivity for an optimal start of the day.
