Philips Wake-Up Light

"My bedroom curtains are great at blocking sunlight, but that means it's easier for me to oversleep. And it doesn't help that I usually hit the snooze button at least three times every morning. The warm light made waking up much more pleasant, and I didn't feel the need to roll over and keep sleeping." — Jihan Thompson, Health Editor
