Customer Reviews of Apollo Health DayBreak Duo Dawn/Dusk Simulator
Customer Review: Why did it take decades for someone to create an "alarm" clock like this?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a sunrise simulator rather than an alarm clock, and as such, it can be said to be something of a sleep assistant or even a sleep management system. This thing might well change my life.
It's easy to set up, easy to adjust the settings, all the buttons -- both physical and touchscreen -- work. My bedroom lamp came on over the course of 45 minutes and woke me up smoothly, like God intended. I can say that, because God created sunrises, to which humans have awakened for eons, rather than having their sleep shattered by obnoxious alarm clocks.
The brightness of the display has exactly two settings, and is either manual or automatic, but not adjustable. Meaning, you can have the display be either bright or dim by way of a button, or if you have the sunrise simulation set (and who is going to buy this thing and NOT set it?), the display autmatically dims eight hours prior to the set wake time so as not to disturb your sleep. I think that's good in that it encourages people to go to bed eight hours before they plan on getting up. And the bright setting is quite bright and the dim setting is very dim, which is good. The thought and engineering that went into this is obvious.
The buttons on the touchscreen are actually responsive to being touched, and give a satisfying beep when used. The 9-volt battery back-up is one of the more over-engineered things I've ever seen. Usually, installing a battery involves merely pressing on a piece of plastic before sliding it out of the way, and then inserting the battery up against something spring-loaded, and then putting the piece of plastic back. You know what I'm talking about and it's no sweat. This thing, man, I wrestled with it for 15 minutes nonstop. It demands that the battery be inserted just so, and requires a screwdriver, for crying out loud. But once you get it done, it's done.
Gone are the days of not being really awake. Gone are the rude awakenings 5 days of the week, every week. Gone is the night owl lifestyle because of marathon sleep sessions due to sleep deprivation on most days. Now I can get up early, because I won't have the blaring of the alarm clock in the pitch black darkness pi**ing me off and needing to be silenced.
Blue-tinted, natural light incandescent bulbs are highly recommended, since they give off light more like the blue/white of sunrises rather than the yellow/orange/red of sunsets.
Description of Apollo Health DayBreak Duo Dawn/Dusk Simulator
Wake to Your Own Personal Sunrise. Naturally. Why Waking Up is Hard to Do: Traditional Alarm Clocks wake you with a sudden jolt of noise that interrupts you final stage of sleep, causing a condition known as sleep latency that makes it hard to get out of bed. The effects of sleep latency can last all day. A Better Way to Wake Up - Naturally. Your body knows when to go to sleep and when to wake up from the light/dark signals it receives. Unlike the sudden jolt of your alarm clock, your Daybreak provides a natural sunrise that wakes you gradually. By gradually pulling you from the final stages of sleep into wakefulness, you'll wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go - no jarring alarm, no feeling like you just woke up. You'll Sleep Better, too. Your Daybreak can help you get more from your sleep cycle in two important ways: First, waking up gradually to sunrise simulation allows your body to fully complete its final sleep stage. This also sets your body clock's sleep timer so that you fall asleep more easily at bedtime. Is it any wonder that many of us have a hard time sleeping? We have all sorts of lights on in our homes, then quickly turn them off and expect to fall right asleep. Sometimes it can take 30 minutes or more before our bodies are ready for sleep. The second way your Daybreak helps with sleep is by providing a sunset simulation - a gradual decrease in light that tells your body clock to slow down. By replicating nature's sunset, you're giving your body clock the signal it needs to know that it's time to go to sleep. Get Up on the Right Side of Your Day. Begin every morning with your Daybreak, and see how easy it is to get going. Research has shown that getting the right amount of light before you wake can get your body clock started properly, and start your morning refreshed.Light Therapy
