I live in the PNW, and those dark rainy days with little light are very difficult to wake up to. I hate the harsh wake ups from an alarm. I find with the wake-up light, I gently wake up before my alarm. I feel less groggy overall. I think it's helped with improving my mood as well. I've recommended this to everyone I know. People complain about how complicated it is to set up the alarm. I think this is true. I'm fine with it though. After initial set up, I didn't need to do much with it. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to turn off the bird sounds on my second alarm - that's annoying but not a deal breaker.
Wasteful, do not buy this product. Died after only a few years use. Phillips you should be ashamed of this product, after reading other reviews many others had the same issue. Expensive investment for temporary product. Only apology that was offered was for 20% to spend more on a short lived product. Don’t waste your money! If I could give negative stars, I would.
Short life span. Power all of a sudden started flashing and wouldn’t turn off. Buttons stopped working. Less than 5 years old
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Smart sleep clock worked great but now not working

Purchased this Smart sleep, sunrise clock for my son who has seizures, so the gentle light waking him up in the morning was perfect now. Unfortunately the clock has stopped working. We can leave it unplugged for about three or four days and it will come back on.. this was a very expensive clock to purchase, and I was hoping it would last longer than it has

I purchased the lamp in Jan 2020 and it stopped working in August 2023. The lamp in my living room has been working since 1992, and the clock radio in my room has been working since 1993. I expected a longer life from this device.
