The gradual and natural sunrise simulation increased over the span of 30 minutes until it completely flooded my bedroom with beautiful, rich, orange-and-yellow lights and the gentle sounds of "Nepal bowls." Waking up with this lamp was such a pleasant experience. The display automatically dims as the room gets darker, great for cocooning yourself in total darkness. Falling asleep to this lamp was very relaxing the sunset simulation therapy works just as well as the Philips SmartSleep Connected. I had no problem setting the time and alarms with the easy-to-follow instructions. Its offers impressive colored sunrise simulations and relaxing sunsets for about half the price of our top pick. I recommend this one if you're looking for something simple but still high-quality and efficient. Pros: Creates the best sunrise simulation, very user-friendly and simple, fully manualĬons: Very limited sound options, doesn't have an app if you're someone who prefers a connected deviceĪ less expensive option from Philips, the SmartSleep Wake-Up Light has fewer customizable options and features than the Philips SmartSleep Connected and is completely manual no app needed. Read our full review of the Philips SmartSleep Connected. All this customizability comes at around $200. Unfortunately, you can't connect via Bluetooth. Other features include guided meditations, a night light, backup battery, USB charging dock, an AUX cord to play music from your phone, and a reading light. The device tracks your sleep habits and lets you know if your bedroom is too hot, humid, bright, or loud for optimal sleep. The combination made me feel like I was on vacation. I've used the Philips SmartSleep Connected for months and love waking up to "summer birds" and an "island red" sunrise with warm red and orange lights distributed nicely throughout the bedroom. This is accompanied by your choice of four natural relaxing sounds (or FM radio) that fade away with the sunset. The stunning sunset simulation was my favorite feature: The brightness gradually decreases from beautiful hues of bright yellows to soft reds over the course of five to 60 minutes. It's controlled almost entirely from an app (available for iOS or Android) that allows you to customize "wind-down" and "wake-up" profiles with your preferred sound, light intensity, and duration. The Philips SmartSleep Connected is a relatively large sunrise lamp that resembles a glowing donut. Pros: Smartphone connected allows you to customize duration, color, sound, and intensity of wake-up and wind-down programs makes recommendations for improving sleep environment can set up to 16 alarmsĬons: Large, does not play music via Bluetooth, not a good option for those who prefer manual controls
