Dark and chilly mornings in winter can make getting up early a real challenge. Research shows that waking up without natural light can have a negative impact on mental health, adding to the struggle of rising before sunrise. Stacey Solomon, known for sharing home decor tips and gadgets, may have a solution to make early mornings more manageable.
In a recent Instagram post showcasing her morning routine for Joe Swash’s birthday, Stacey revealed her use of a daylight lamp, which helps her wake up at 7 am more smoothly during the winter season.
The featured lamp, the Blonbar Bedside Lamp, currently priced at £26.99 on Amazon (originally £42.99), offers more than just a sunrise simulation. It includes a wireless phone charging platform compatible with most Qi-Certified smartphones. The lamp features three brightness levels (30%, 60%, 100%) and convenient touch controls for easy adjustment. Additionally, it has a clock screen with adjustable brightness levels for time visibility at any hour.
Acting as an alarm clock, the sunrise lamp gradually brightens before the set alarm time, simulating natural daylight to wake you gently. It offers 15 alarm tones and a snooze function for a gradual and peaceful awakening, mimicking the natural light cycle of spring and summer.
Beyond waking up, the lamp provides ten different sleep sounds such as birdsong and ocean waves to help users fall asleep naturally. With a 30/60/90-minute countdown in sleep sound mode, the sounds automatically turn off at the set time.
For those seeking affordable alternatives to sunrise lamps, options like the Lumie Sunrise Alarm at Boots for £39.99 (originally £49.99) or the Elements Light Up Alarm Clock at Dunelm for £25 are available.
The Blonbar Bedside Lamp on Amazon has garnered nearly 900 reviews, with the majority rating it 4 or 5 stars. Customers praise its quality, design, and functionality, highlighting features like easy light control and soothing alarm sounds. While some mention challenges with wireless charging based on phone case size, overall feedback is positive, with users appreciating the lamp’s settings and ease of use for nighttime activities.
