Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The stickers, markings all over, and overall complaints about the buttons are ridiculous! This alarm clock is freaking awesome! The book guides you through the setup, which is very easy. To snooze, you simply gently tap the front of the light. The light stays on but the sound turns off for 9 minutes. One is most likely awake when it's time to actually turn the unit off by pushing the button. The complaints about knocking it over or pushing the wrong button are absurd. I just purchased this alarm clock and have used it all week. I set my own schedule at work and prefer to go in early so I can come home early. However, I also like three hours of awake time before I start work, so I get up between 3:30 and 4:00am. I used to set my alarm for 2:45 and snooze for 45 minutes. With this clock, I set it for 3:30 with a 30 minute sunrise simulation at a less intense brightness. Now, I am usually awake between 3:10 and 3:20 before the birds (in the clock) start chirping. So I already gained 30 minutes of sleep there. Next week, I will try to set it for 4:00 and gain another 30 minutes! And about that sunrise simulation, I love that you can adjust the time from 20 to 40 minutes and the intensity as well. Full brightness is too bright for me. So I cut the brightness in half which is perfect. I wake when it's in the orange phase. I love that I don't need a startling sound to wake me up in the morning anymore. I love that I don't have to wake up in the pitch black of night anymore. This clock will be great for waking during Maine winters when the sun is out for less than 8 hours a day. Also, for all of you before-sleep readers that fall asleep with your light on. Not anymore! I always fell asleep with my light on and would wake up 3 hours later to turn it off. I LOVE that when using this light at night it turns off after 30 minutes. I slept so well this last week. If you're a snooze button abuser (like I was), get this clock! It truly allows you to wake when you're body is ready to - not because of some obnoxious noise.
