I can personally vouch for it. Having come across the Lumie lamp slap-bang in the middle of last winter, I saw a marked difference during the second half. I actually felt a little brighter after day one of using it for 20 minutes first thing, but by the time I’d been using it for a week, I was back. My mood lifted, my energy levels returned to normal, I could (finally) resist the chocolate stash, and – most importantly – I felt like myself again. It might be the best £99 I ever spent.

Overall, I was really impressed with the Lumie Bodyclock Rise 100. It drastically improved my morning routine, and I've found waking up so much easier ever since my purchase. Trust: this alarm clock's benefits have not faltered. I've been recommending this alarm clock to all of my friends - particularly those who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, or shift workers that have to wake up really early in the morning.

On a normal non-Lumie evening, I’d lie in bed for about four hours trying to get to sleep. Within a week, it was more like two hours and things continued to improve as time went on. After a month of use it was only taking me about 40 minutes to fall asleep. I was shook. And after six months? I could fall asleep in five to 10 minutes.

As someone who experiences low mood in the winter; is permanently glued to a computer screen for approximately nine to eleven hours a day while working from home; and likes to engage in many creative activities in the evening to wind down before a bit of bedtime reading, I can’t tell you how much I loved the Lumie Task’s versatility. Needless to say, I soon developed a daily routine  to maximise its uses and benefits.

So, I've long been on the hunt for hacks to make cold, dark mornings less gloomy. I've tried everything from breathwork training, to journalling in my wellness planner, to setting positive affirmations for the day ahead - but the one thing that's made the biggest difference to my morning is a sunrise alarm clock. I now swear by mine to get me up in the morning and yes, I do notice a difference to my sleep quality when I don't use one. I've tested a few in my time, and by far my favourite is the Lumie Bodyclock Spark 100.

The Lumie Bodyclock Shine 300 is stylish and effective, and we think it has everything you need from a sunrise alarm clock, including an excellent simulated sunrise and sunset features that makes falling asleep just as soothing as waking up. With easy set up, a sleek design, and unique features, it’s hard to imagine a better way to wake up on dark mornings (or fall asleep on chilly winter nights!).

I have to say, the Lumie is very easy to use and forget about – in a good way. Its slim design means it’s not cumbersome, and could be easily transported into an office or go with you in a bag if you’re changing locations. As I became more accustomed to the morning blast of light, I kept noticing the positive effects. I definitely felt a boost of energy on most mornings which helped me to last throughout the day.

I’ve been using a Lumie SAD lamp for almost two months - I can’t believe the difference it's made to my energy and mood ... I have been using it consistently for two months, either next to my laptop when working from home, or propped up on my make-up table when getting ready in the morning. Not only has it helped my energy levels, but it's sleek design and terracotta colourway blend into my existing home decor.
