I wake up 2 hours before my husband. He does not generally hear my alarm, but will this light cause him to wake when I do?

That depends on your husband. The light helps me wake up but doesn't seem to affect my husband as much. You can adjust how bright the light gets, I have it set to about 1/2 brightness.

I think it will wake up your husband. But if he is a heavy sleeper and has little problem sleeping in bright light then it could be okay. Try a test and turn a regular lamp on in the morning and if it doesn't wake him in 15 to 25 minutes then you should be okay. They say the light should be between 18" and 40" of your head for best effect. I'm taking those numbers off the top if my head since I don't have instructions with me. If he will be farther away it has less effect.

That will really depend on how he sleeps. If you have the light on your side of the bed, it might not be bright enough to wake him up if he's not facing it. But it does tend to make the whole room at least a bit brighter, so if he's sensitive to light it will.

No it doesn't. I tell my wife to push it firmly and to push it a second time to be sure that the alarm is sounded. I respond right away so if I did arrive within a minute or so, she could push it again. It has always worked the first time. I love the device.

I believe it needs to be near you. I tried across the room myself and didn't wake me up at all. It sits on the night stand and I face that way and it gently wakes me up. Soooo much better than an alarm. I love it. Bought one for my son and works well for him too !

Honestly the light always wakes me up before the actual alarm goes off, it's a gradual light. I use the bird noise which is less alarming than beeping but as others have said all you have to do is turn down the volume.

It is difficult to answer this question. My wife doesn't use the light for a couple of hours after waking, but she is also taking medication. She is definitely feeling better, but is it the meds or the light?

Yes, we set the time the bunny wakes up and it lights up the awake bunny but doesn't make a sound. My husband set it so if you need more details I'd need to ask him.

There's a great app for Pebble called Gentle Wake that uses the accelerometer to sense when you're moving in your sleep. It lets you set an amount of time before your alarm in which it can go off if you start moving around, the theory being that you move around in lower levels of sleep and you'll be less groggy if it wakes you then instead of in the middle of deeper sleep. I have mine set for 20 minutes and it wakes me within those 20 minutes about 60% of the time. The other 40% it just goes off at the regular time I set. I love it.

I have never experienced this situation. However, the instructions say that the alarm should be reset due to an abnormal or operation or previous alarm.

The top gets fairly hot if on for longer periods of time. I believe you could adjust the brightness of light during set up but it might be set by how bright you want the alarm light.

Probably... I guess it depend on how soundly you sleep & where the receiver is. Ours is in the kitchen and we can hear it in the bedroom upstairs about 40 feet away...and it will wake us. If you're worried about missing the alarm, why not purchase a second receiver for the bedroom... I have one in my unattached garage workshop so I know if someone is entering the property..

The alarm is not real loud like an old time wind up alarm clock, but is probably loud enough to wake you if you are a "light sleeper".

I clip the alarm to my son's underpants and then put pullups over them. This way the alarm can work and the bed stays dry. Keep a stack of dry underpants and pullups out for quick nighttime changes. Good luck.

No, the light , to me, has a nice, warm glow. Before the alarm goes off the light starts to glow and gets brighter just like daylight. I really like it.

Turn off the sleep timer. Put it back on 90, wait for the light to go off, then push/hold the red OFF button until it stops. Otherwise, you might just be hitting the snooze button to the alarm. Lol

Barbara, from what my MD has told me (he's the one who suggested I get the light lamp), it's only good to use the light box in the morning after you wake up, for about 30-45 minutes. It's not meant for use all day long in a low light environment. Hope this info helps...you may want to ask your doc about it!

Yes. I have mine set with two alarms. The first one I set the sound level to level 1. What that means is as the light and sound gradually turn on, there is no sound until the very end. Then it is on at level one. Then the second one I set louder, because by then the light usually already wakes me up, so the sound lulls me out of bed if I haven't gotten up already.

yes, it's possible! you can turn off the sound and there will be only the light to wake you up:) but sometimes I don't notice the light without the alarm sound so it's better to turn it on
