A Gentle Awakening

 

We believe in the power of simple, easy to use tools for greater wellbeing, which is why we created the Rise Centered Sunrise Alarm Clock. Designed to mimic the sunrise, our sunrise alarm clock wakes you up the way nature intended - no iPhone alarm necessary. Here are our top 5 reasons why we love waking up with natural light:

Less Stress: Did you know that waking up to the sound of an alarm clock is the evolutionary equivalent of being woken up by a roaring lion? The sudden noise sends your body into overdrive, and your nervous system responds as if you are under threat. Cut the cortisol and set the tone for a grounded, purposeful morning.

More Energy: Bright light in the mornings triggers a cascade of hormones that promote wakefulness and reduce fatigue. Think less grogginess and more energy to start the day (morning-person-perkiness not included).

Better Sleep: The circadian rhythm, your body’s internal clock, functions best when you have access to morning light - and a better functioning circadian rhythm means deeper and more fitful sleep.

Earlier Wake Up: Can’t quite crack the code on early mornings? Use your Sunrise Alarm Clock or head outside first thing to prime your body for a sunrise wake-up. Pair this with evening sunset exposure and watch your body align itself with sunrise and sunset all on its own.

Your wellness routine doesn't need to be elaborate, time consuming or filled with buzzy trends or hacks. Simple tweaks like waking up with natural light can make a world of difference to your health and wellbeing. Join us in stripping back and prioritizing simple habits that work.

 

Here's to mornings recharged by the power of natural light,
