When I was a child, I slept through a loud fire alarm at a hotel, and my family realized that I could sleep through almost anything.
While this ability is great for falling asleep, it has made it difficult for me to wake up. When I was in college, I had to use multiple phone alarms set five minutes apart or an app that forced me to solve complex math problems to wake up.
However, these methods didn’t work well for my partner. After we moved in together, he urged me to find a less disruptive way to wake up.
That’s when I discovered the Philips SmartSleep Wake-Up Light HF3520. Its gradual red-tinted light and gentle alarm sounds have successfully woken me up for almost three years, without disturbing my partner. Using this alarm clock has also helped me feel more relaxed in the mornings.
