Honeywell PLS750C1000 Timer Switch with Sunrise Sunset Single or 3 Way

Product Information

As the light dims gradually according to your set time interval, over the course of, say, 15 or 30 minutes, you can choose from seven “wind-down” programs to go with it, complete with breathing exercises and relaxation sounds. Wake-up lights on the other hand, emit a much less intense light, mimicking the changing nature of first and last light, aiming to bring you out of sleep gradually and much more effectively than a regular alarm, or help you nod off naturally with the sunset simulation. Timer switches help to reduce energy consumption and extend bulb life by giving you the option to control when your lights go on and when they go off. When your tough-love moment arrives, the device flashes urgently like hazard lights and emits a sound like a car that won’t start—right next to your bed.

But I did enjoy choosing from the 15 different sounds including birds, waves, rain, frogs, crickets, purring kittens and, more surprisingly, goats, steam train, café and ping pong. Interestingly, many individuals even report feeling a boost in their energy levels and an improved sense of well-being right after their initial session! But if you like the convenience of programming your alarms via an intuitive app, setting multiple alarms during the week (including a very loud, very bright get-up-or-else one), customizing your sunrise themes, and using the clock as a calming tool for falling asleep, you may find the Philips SmartSleep HF3670 to be worth the extra cost. Today, we proudly operate from an even larger warehouse, delivering unrivaled services you can rely on.The privacy policy says the app does collect data about how you use the SmartSleep clock (for example, your alarm settings and tones) and other data (like sensor readings and Wi-Fi data). Humans aren’t mice, of course, but the concept is rational, said Dan Oren, MD, associate adjunct professor of psychiatry at Yale University, in an interview.

You can also do all this directly with the buttons on the clock, but that’s a lot of settings and a lot of buttons, which can get frustrating. As with all Philips models, the LED in the HF3520 can’t be replaced when it goes out, so you’ll have to replace the entire clock. Sitting close to an SAD light for around half an hour a day (not staring into it, but just reading or working next to it) is thought to stimulate your hypothalamus to reduce production of melatonin, which makes you sleepy, and increase production of serotonin, which improves your mood.If you choose this option, the hour lost or gained will be reflected, and will always show the true amount of time left.
