Dawn Simulator/SAD Lamps?

[boogaloo]

hi all,

hoping to buy a dawn simulator to help get me up on dark mornings. Has anyone any experience of these products?
What would be the best one to go for? I don't really want one with compulsory noises/sounds.

Any ideas?

If you use that to get up in your bedroom, will it not feel a bit odd going back in to the dark in the bathroom and for your breakfast?

You might experience jet lag between the bedroom and kitchen.

hee hee, na, should be fine galleryman, its just the actual gentle 'waking up' part that I'm trying to improve.

anyone used this crowd - www.outsidein.co.uk? any reviews?

I used a Lumie (sp?) lamp for a while. I didn't notice any great difference tbh. Nothing like putting a very loud alarm clock on the other side of the bedroom - the old fashioned way

I use the [broken link removed], but only in helping to get to sleep, rather than waking up. I don't find it any good for waking up in the mornings at all. I still have to depend on the suggestion from Sherman.

hi Ronan, do you find that the bodyclock sunray helps you get to sleep? And no difference at all in helping to wake up? Hmmm, maybe not worth the money so.

thanks.
