Description
Light wakes you naturally

The PHILIPS MODEL HF3461 WAKE UP LIGHT creates a summer dawn experience every day to make waking and getting up so much easier.

From half an hour before your set wake up time, light gradually increases to the intensity you selected (250 Lux advised) over 30 minutes. The light brightens at the optimum rate determined by Philips scientists to be the most effective.

As the light falls on your eyes, it sends your brain a message to increase the production of Cortisol, the energy hormone and reduce the levels of the sleep hormone Melatonin. This means that at the set alarm time your sleep and energy hormones are better balanced and you will feel fitter, calmer and more energetic right at the start of your day.

Light and your biological clock

Exposure to light regulates your biological clock that controls your body's circadian rhythms. Your Melatonin level rises in the evening, preparing your body for sleep and lowering your body temperature. The light in the morning stimulates the secretion of the hormone Cortisol, which makes you awake and alert.

Optimally, your circadian rhythms are in sync with your sleep and wake rhythm. Disturbed sleep and circadian rhythms can severely impact your health, performance and productivity. In autumn and winter, when the days are shorter and darker, many people experience tiredness and need more sleep. Lack of energy and trouble to get up in the morning are common symptoms of the winter blues. Other symptoms may be unexpected mood changes, concentration problems and a craving for food rich in fattening carbohydrates. Some people may even develop a serious depression (seasonal affective disorder or SAD), which disappears when spring comes.

The effects of dawn simulation

Hypersomnia is associated with a phase delay of the circadian rhythm. The PHILIPS MODEL HF3461 WAKE UP LIGHT regulates the circadian rhythm during the last half hour of sleep. In the early morning hours, your eyes are more sensitive to light than when you are awake.

During that period, the relatively low light levels of a simulated natural sunrise are sufficient to phase-advance your biological clock, to suppress the melatonin production and to elevate the cortisol level upon awakening. Clinical studies have shown that regular use of a dawn simulator can alleviate even the severest symptoms of the winter blues. People who use the PHILIPS MODEL HF3461 WAKE UP LIGHT, wake up more easily and feel more energetic. Their overall mood, productivity and ability to concentrate are improved. With the PHILIPS MODEL HF3461 WAKE UP LIGHT, you can set the light level that corresponds to your light sensitivity for optimum dawn simulation.

Up to 400 Lux Intensity

The PHILIPS MODEL HF3461 WAKE UP LIGHT offers up to a 400 Lux Light intensity. It has been clinically proven that you need up to 250 Lux to affect energy hormones in such a way that you wake up full of energy. For easy reading, you need a light level of 200 to 400 Lux.

Three natural sounds or friendly beep

At your set wake-up time, you will start hearing a natural sound or, if you prefer, a friendly beep. It starts out quietly and takes a minute and a half to reach the volume level you selected. There are three natural sounds you can choose from: morning birds in the forest, waves at the beach, or a frog and a duck in a small pond. The gradually increasing sound will make the wake-up process nice and gentle, ensuring you're never rudely awakened. When the sound reaches your selected volume level, getting out of bed is easy.

Digital FM Radio

The built in digital FM Radio lets you wake up to your favourite songs or news station every day. Just select your favourite radio station and at your set wake up time, it will start to play at first gently, gradually increasing over ninety seconds to the volume level you selected.
