lumie 150 dawn simulator – for an enlightened un-stressful awakening

The Dawn simulator also known as Sunrise alarm clock or even light alarm, allows to reconstruct and synchronise biorhythms by the use of progressive light intensity omitting the aggression and stress of the more traditional forms of alarm (alarm clock, radio) which more often render the first tasks of the day difficult and un-wanting. Whether adult, child or even for babies, sunset and dawn simulation are ideal for a natural and gentle rhythm to falling asleep or awakening. Dawn simulators have been clinically tested – the results of which show that cortisol secretion (hydro-cortisone) is optimised. Cortisol hormone amongst others is responsible for metabolic activity and ensures energy distribution towards the brain at the start of each day as well as stress inhibition.

The dawn simulator is also used for regulating babys' sleep, helping it to differentiate between night and day and regulating its biological clock.

What is the difference between light therapy and the Dawn Simulator ?

The dawn simulator regulates our biorhythms by helping to determine night and day. This allows at night to fall asleep in optimum natural conditions. In the morning, the dawn simulator produces the sunrise effect thus enabling cortisol secretion.
Therefore, the dawn simulator allows us to wake up naturally and go to sleep rapidly. 

Bright light therapy is very much different from dawn simulation. This treatment notably allows to fight against all troubles related to lack of natural sunlight. When light intensity is inferior to 2000 LUX the body naturally secrets melatonin (sleeping hormone) which in turn induces moodiness, tiredness, seasonal affective disorder S.A.D etc… Simply being exposed to an intensive bright light designed specially for therapy use, production of melatonin is blocked and normal activity and energy is regained.
