I worked shift work for years. I often used a timer on a lamp timed with my alarm.

Lazer,

I'm guessing you use a smartphone. Which do you use - Droid or iPhone?

The Android Razr Maxx. I do have a program "Sleep as an Android" on it but not sure if anything is available that would actually work as one of these lights. I'm strongly considering one of these but it's difficult to find that perfect one with the price being right.

My wife suffers during the winter, and we have been using one for several years.... it helps her. We also lived in England for 12 years, and had one over there, tough when it is dust at 3:30.

We also have bright full daylight bulbs in the primary rooms, to get more light during the day.

I want to get one of these lights and this thread has not helped. Everyone has suggested a different light

Having never used one, I present a link to reviews of 3 models:

There are other models around.
As close as I am to retirement, I can't see getting one now.

I like the Phillips wake up light. I live in the inner city and have a lot of street noise so I sleep with ear plugs. The light is a dependable alarm without the sound.

+1 to the Phillips.

I purchased one of these recently off ebay (slightly used) and have been pleased with it:

Amazon has some coupons for Phillips devices. But you have to buy directly from amazon and not a vendor on the product page.

Coupon is $20 off the price.

Example of one.

Non alarm.
