Combat winter gloom

Make mornings in wintertime just that little bit more bearable thanks to the gentle waking alarm clock by Lumie. Part table lamp, part alarm clock, it uses light to simulate the sunrise half an hour before your alarm, helping to wake you up naturally. Choose from a traditional beep sound for the alarm or pick birdsong, purring kitten or even tree frogs for a more soothing wake-up call.
