Brief Description of the Product
Lumie Bodyclock Starter 30 Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock with Sunrise and Sunset Features is manufactured by Lumie, a specialist in the manufacture of medical devices. Since 1991, Lumie has been involved in researching and designing bright lights for the treatment of SAD and other conditions.

They are independently verified and Lumie is registered with the government’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency.
Lumie manufactures a range of Bodyclocks. They are basically intelligent alarm clocks with light that are designed to simulate the dawn.
Our bodies have an internal regulatory system that regulates feelings of sleepiness and wakefulness during a period of 24 hours. This is known as circadian rhythm, a natural body-clock that determines your sleep/wake cycle. In some people, the circadian rhythm can fluctuate, for example, as they grow older or due to disruptions in their sleep patterns. This will affect the level of their feelings of sleepiness or wakefulness, which is the reason some people may feel like sleeping more in the morning while others may have difficulties sleeping at night.
This natural body clock is controlled by the brain, the area that responds to light. This explains why some people may feel energetic and alert during sunshine but as it gets dark like in the winter months, they feel lethargic or moody.
