According to a recent article from the New York Times, “Circadian science, newly embraced by airlines, hotels and airport lounges in the form of light therapy, prescribes bright light for wakefulness and warm light to prepare to rest. Light exposure helps reset the clock, according to the National Sleep Foundation.”1 This new philosophy is spreading as the power of tapping into natural circadian rhythms is uncovered.
A cottage industry of wake up light alarm clocks has emerged over the past number of years. However most of these products developed to date have tried to simulate natural sunrises and sunsets but the fundamental problem is that it is still just a plain light.
The ideal solution is to combine light with photos that represent the outdoors for greatest effect. This can mean a serene beach sunset or a sunrise in a green forest filled with morning dew.
The ideal answer is Wallumination artboxes that combine the power of imagery and light into a powerful combination. Wallumination artboxes can be controlled with a remote control to vary the intensity of the light for morning and evening.
