Introduction
Lumie Bodyclock wakes you naturally with a sunrise. Waking with light
has been shown to improve mood, energy, productivity and the quality
1
of sleep and awakening.
Wake-up lights can also help sufferers of SAD (Seasonal Affective
Disorder) and winter blues cope with dark winter mornings.
At bedtime, a fading sunset helps you naturally unwind by promoting the
production of the sleep hormone, melatonin. Use together with the low-
blue light feature to minimise the alerting effect of blue light and prepare
3
for sleep.
Lumie invented the very first wake-up light in 1993. Use all year round to
encourage a regular sleep-wake pattern.
Research shows that dawn simulation is very safe and without serious
side-effects. If you have any concerns, please contact Lumie or speak to
your doctor.
