http://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-HF3463- ... 604&sr=1-1Anyone ever seen or used one before? I'm kinda curious to hear of anyone's experiences if they have since I know a woman who suffers from SAD (Seasonal affective disorder)...

£65 for an alarm clock with a light bulb stuck on top?   If you want to wake up to natural light, go to sleep with the curtains open. Easy.

I personally would be more than likely waking up to a migraine doing that  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

The Sun doesn't wake me up on a morning. What chance does a little light have?

It isn't light by the time I leave the house (and it is dark by the time I get back again), so that won't work... That said, I generally wake up naturally before my alarm goes off.

I think this wake-up light is probably good for a migraine: clicky_________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

I used to set my hi fi to play a live version of One Vision by Queen, gradually building crowd noise and synthesizers before Bryan May cranks up the power chords to get you to your feet, however it's obligatory to then strut to the bathroom in the style of Freddy.

 , but I'm sticking with the curtains at that price When I come to power, things like that will be illegal Nice I have Wired Desire's No One Sleeps (which wasn't intentional ) as my phone alarm as it has a bit of a build-up to it  : http://open.spotify.com/track/2IvCYwVfHOPkKLkMl7MBpI

I doubt that will be much help for someone with SAD Read up on it a while ago since spending a lot of time inside I feel almost constantly tired, and it appears to be a light box that is required, something with a lot more candelas (the term for brightness) and it's meant to be a constant exposure rather than just waking up to it Unfortunate acronym for a disease _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Somewhere else linked to it mentioning SAD in the process, otherwise I would never have thought of it _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:
