What is a Sunrise Alarm Clock and how does the sunrise simulation work?Updated 2 months ago

Our sunrise alarm clock uses a gradual, warm light emitted from our Himalayan salt sphere to mimic a natural sunrise. 

This sunrise simulation increases the amount of light over 30 minutes, which cues your body to its wake cycle.

The gradual light exposure signals to your brain to gradually release cortisol, which is the hormone that signals to your body to wake up, allowing for a more gentle wakeup than your phone alarm or traditional alarm clocks, which spike cortisol.
