Hey supernova, I gotta tell you . . .

I love, love, love my dawn simulator lamp!! It's only been 4 days, but it's wonderful!! The dog & cat like it too. ;)

You can set the "sunrise" to take from 15 mins to 90 mins. I have mine set at 30 mins. I wake up about 15-20 minutes into it. Then I just lie there while it continues to brighten & enjoy it while I pet the cat. A few minutes before the alarm goes off, I get up. No more hitting the snooze over & over. It has been a much nicer way to wake up. Maybe not for everyone, but if you resist getting up in the dark, definitely worth a try! I have actually gotten my butt out of bed at 5am & gotten in some great cardio workouts before work! Zang!!

I read some reviews about the Verilux lamps on Amazon & decided against them. Here is the model I purchased.

3. Great to hear CrispyQGirl

:D

Funny about the pets too. :-)

Well, I might just get one, even though winter is now on the back side. (I have a much easier time waking up in the summer. )

4. Thanks, this might be just what I need to get out of bed at 4:30 AM..

6. You know you're getting up way too early when...

...not even the dog is interested in getting out of bed. "C'mon puppy! Let's go!" Dog gets out of bed. Looks around. Looks at you like, "What are you, nuts?" and trots back off to bed.

5. Anything that helps!

I set up my coffee the night before, and lay out my clothes, and set the alarm on my cellphone AND an alarm on my laptop, but I may add that lamp to all that!
