Customer Reviews of Apollo Health DayBreak Duo Dawn/Dusk SimulatorCustomer Review: Almost as good as being able to sleep in Summary: 5 Stars
I used a dawn simulator from another manufacturer as my primary alarm for ten refreshing years. Then, the inexpensive components on the device failed, and I returned to jarring awakenings with a more conventional alarm clock.
I wanted the dawn simulator again, but buying those same failing components didn't appeal to me. The Apollo promised even more functionality for not much more money.
Pros: a lot of them. I'll just mention the dead-simple time setting, the built-in radio, and the option of setting two different dawns, with not just light waking you up but also a backup of a chime or radio sounds.
Cons: about the only one I encounter is the bright orange display which dims somewhat eight hours before your scheduled "dawn," but never dims totally. The remedy for this is to face the clock away from you as you sleep.
Description of Apollo Health DayBreak Duo Dawn/Dusk SimulatorWake to Your Own Personal Sunrise. Naturally. Why Waking Up is Hard to Do: Traditional Alarm Clocks wake you with a sudden jolt of noise that interrupts you final stage of sleep, causing a condition known as sleep latency that makes it hard to get out of bed. The effects of sleep latency can last all day. A Better Way to Wake Up - Naturally. Your body knows when to go to sleep and when to wake up from the light/dark signals it receives. Unlike the sudden jolt of your alarm clock, your Daybreak provides a natural sunrise that wakes you gradually. By gradually pulling you from the final stages of sleep into wakefulness, you'll wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go - no jarring alarm, no feeling like you just woke up. You'll Sleep Better, too. Your Daybreak can help you get more from your sleep cycle in two important ways: First, waking up gradually to sunrise simulation allows your body to fully complete its final sleep stage. This also sets your body clock's sleep timer so that you fall asleep more easily at bedtime. Is it any wonder that many of us have a hard time sleeping? We have all sorts of lights on in our homes, then quickly turn them off and expect to fall right asleep. Sometimes it can take 30 minutes or more before our bodies are ready for sleep. The second way your Daybreak helps with sleep is by providing a sunset simulation - a gradual decrease in light that tells your body clock to slow down. By replicating nature's sunset, you're giving your body clock the signal it needs to know that it's time to go to sleep. Get Up on the Right Side of Your Day. Begin every morning with your Daybreak, and see how easy it is to get going. Research has shown that getting the right amount of light before you wake can get your body clock started properly, and start your morning refreshed.
