It just so happens that I find it difficult to get up in the morning in the autumn and winter time. Once it is time to long nights and short days, the fight starts with a dream in the morning. Wake up not just difficult, but very difficult - and even after I open my eyes, it is difficult to gather the will and stand up. I think many familiar with this situation.
Incidentally, in the spring and in the summer I get up in the morning without any difficulty. In autumn begins the "morning" of the problem, when to get up, not only do not want to, but may not.
So I decided to find a way to wake up without problems, and how to be included in the normal daily activities as soon as possible.
During the search for a possible solution to the question I came across interesting information about the device, which is called "Dawn". In the description devaysa it said that the device uses special techniques to ensure that the owner woke up and felt like a zombie. As I often write reviews of any-different devices, contact the manufacturer and agreed to testing, "Breaking Dawn." The effectiveness devaysa and believe and do not believe it. But I wanted to try. Looking ahead, I will say that the device is really effective, my expectations were met.
Package arrived "Breaking Dawn"
It gave hope that the developers when creating a kind of device was used a hack that allows you to assure the human body is that the sun is already above the horizon, and awakened birds singing outside the window in full. Actually, hacks several:
- when the alarm is gradually increased brightness luminescence device, the device begins to glow long before the alarm sounds. Incident on the skin and eyelids light causes blocking melatonin production by the body. If you believe Wikipedia, the melatonin - sleep hormone is a substance, the excess of which is an incredible drowsiness in the morning. None of melatonin - no problem.
- inclusion lamp can be set to a certain time before turning on the audio signal (90 minutes, an hour, 45, 30 or 15 minutes). All of this you need to try on their own, each suitable time. Logically, the sooner light is turned on, the earlier block the production of melatonin, and its half-life is 45 minutes. And the easier it is to get up when the audio signal.
- You can select different types of sounds, from the singing of birds and croaking frogs to sound of rolling waves;
- Front socket "Breaking Dawn"
It is worth noting that in addition to the sounds of nature there is also a FM-radio. So, if you really like some radio station, you get to wake up to the sounds of familiar tunes and voices of radio presenters.
In general, everything was fine in theory. But the theory, theory and practice - practice. Upon receipt devaysa I unpacked it, take care of the evening functions, and the next morning began to try to "Dawn" in the work.
Then here are a few settings applied that helped me
Firstly, I have to radio stations and leading indifferent, therefore, tested the device using the sounds of nature. It is best to wake up turned-dimensional sound of rolling waves. Usually, these sounds are recommended to relax and fall asleep, but I like to wake up in such a way. Birds singing, I also tried it, but for him, I was accustomed, as previously used a similar melody to your phone alarm clock.
The croaking of frogs is not very had to taste, the sound of water is somehow not impressed (although if you have kids, the murmur of the water may be the most effective sound). In general, the sound of waves - the most it. By the way, the developers have provided the ability to configure two independent alarmsSo that the tested "Dawn" Not only I, but also my wife. She also chose the sound of the surf as a wake-up call.
Increasing the luminosity level set for half an hour before the alarm. 15 minutes - a little, and 60-90 minutes - for many. I feared that I wake up early, feeling the glow, and would be a shame that the dream is interrupted, and normal sleep will not come.
In the morning, surprisingly, stood easily. Not that jumped out of bed and rushed to do morning exercises. But I woke up a lot easier than usual. A few minutes later I got up and did the usual cappuccino (I drink coffee and cappuccino is not to wake up, but just like me coffee), and felt completely awake. The process yield from the "suspended animation" occupied instead half-hour for 5-7 minutes.
Before you write a review unit, I tested it for a week, and all this week to get up more easily than without the "Breaking Dawn." In addition, he used an alarm clock and a wife - we have set a second alarm, two independent alarms - positive chip device. He says, too, wakes up almost without problems (ironically, it is also a night owl).
I do not know whether we have convinced themselves the effectiveness of a new alarm, or effect works on which developers and counted, but the wake is no longer as difficult as it was. And frankly, I do not particularly important what works - blocking melatonin or a placebo effect works. The effect is - excellent. By the way, the effect of "Breaking Dawn" will help solve problems with early awakening to all the inhabitants of the Russian Federation - because the clock is no longer transferred, and darkness holds its position in the morning longer than earlier.
Theoretically, "Dawn" can be useful in the summer. Those with windows facing east and we have to close the windows with thick curtains. Then you can set yourself dawn individually.
- Infographics: basic functions devaysa
I have an alarm clock and a few extra buns:
"Dawn" can serve not only as an alarm clock, but also lamp. luminance level of the lamp (LED) is adjusted, the maximum luminance level - 20, min - 1. By clicking on the upper portion of the lamp it starts gradually "warmed up", i.e., gain luminosity to a level previously set. When pressed again, the lamp goes out, not once, but too slowly. Digital dial also features a backlight, which is quite convenient - at night you can always see what time it is, if you suddenly woke up. The backlight is adjustable, but it is not 20 luminance levels, and only two (the backlight and can be completely disabled). Actually, more and do not need.
In general, I think that describe in detail the setting of "Breaking Dawn" principle does not make sense, because anyone reading the instructions, it is easy to cope with the control device. I will only note that most of the features I succumbed without any instructions, and only the second alarm setting need to consult a manual.
Probably should list the key features and complete set of devices which may have been neglected in the description devaysa testing.
So, set:
- box opens easily, even without broke anything when unpacking;
- actually, the lamp (wrapped in foil with pimples - yes, the same film that gives us so much pleasure later);
- the power cord to the adapter;
- antenna for FM-radio (radio works and without any antenna, but just in case I have it hooked up, it is a long and thin wire);
- instructions;
Now functionality:
- a night light, with adjustable brightness levels;
- FM-radio (radio waves Diappazon: 88-108 MHz);
- clock with backlight;
- the calendar;
- an alarm clock with adjustable response time signal for two people;
The disadvantages of the device:
Serious not found. control buttons on the English, perhaps, everything.
conclusion
As I mentioned above, Service really helped me, Get up is much easier to work before starting. Got what he wanted, it is very glad. And yes, there is a "Breaking Dawn" significant disadvantage - coffee, he can not do. But this feature, developers have promised to add the updated version of the device.
P.S .:
It has long wanted to write a review for Layfhakera, it read, and I, and especially my wife. But to write about anything not like now, when there was a reason and opportunity, we decided to send the article on the "Breaking Dawn" on the court Layfhakera readers. We hope that all the above will help you to wake up early and feel good.
