Drift off to sleep listening to the radio, your own MP3s or choose a relaxing track from Meditainment, the audio well-being specialist. Or complement your Bodyclock sunrise with a 'dawn chorus' and wake full of the joys of spring!
Sleep/Wake Better
The sunrise is our regular natural alarm by which we set our body clock, aligning our daily rhythms with day and night. Most of us however mix early starts, late nights and weekend lie-ins and, given such inconsistent light cues, our body clock is soon thrown out of sync. This 'social jet lag' affects many teenagers and adults who have trouble waking up for school or work and feel tired and stressed. A 'dawn simulator' can help by waking you with light, just like a sunrise. With your body clock set to run in time with your day, you'll feel brighter, more refreshed as well as naturally ready for sleep when it's night
Everyday Energy
Our circadian rhythms are easily disrupted by working unsocial hours and poor lighting - even the brightest office will only provide about 500lux. A misaligned body clock is the reason we have times at work when we feel lethargic and find it hard to concentrate and get going. Instead of grabbing a coffee, try bright light first thing for a quick, natural energy boost. Use a light at work to avoid that mid-afternoon dip or, if you work nights, during your shift to help perk you up and improve alertness. Whatever hours you work, extra light when you're awake will help to convince your body clock it's daytime so you sleep better when you get home.
Treating SAD
The symptoms of SAD are similar to those of 'winter blues' (e.g. tiredness, lack of energy, overeating, low moods and social withdrawal) but SAD is much more severe, often seriously affecting people's performance at work, their home life and relationships. The cause of SAD is unclear but short, dark days are the trigger. They prolong the production of melatonin, normally only released at night to help us sleep. Another factor is thought to be low serotonin levels (a feature of depression) which improve significantly in the summer and with light therapy. Indeed, many SAD sufferers have found that bright lights can make a real difference to their life.
Dawn Simulators
Bodyclock dawn simulators are alarm clocks that wake you with a sunrise, naturally re-setting your sleep/wake cycle to help you feel refreshed, alert and energised all day.The brightening light is a natural cue for your body to reduce the production of sleep hormones (e.g. melatonin) and gradually increase the levels of those that help you get up and go (e.g. cortisol).
