How to wake up kind? New Dawn Plus Light Alarm Clock

A light-alarm clock is generally a good thing. Waking up with him is really easier, and you start to hate the whole world much later. In the new version, there are a couple more chips that we will talk about inside.







A lot has been written about the Dadget light alarms. Since then, "Dawn", without changing the name, only changed in shape. From the " ovoid " state of aggregation went into a round . And in general, according to its characteristics, the version of the previous year is optimal. And for the price - 2590 - a very good offer.







But time passes, and in the end of 2019 the company brought a new product, succinctly calling it “Dawn Plus”. In general, at first we were even a little surprised, because such laconic names seemed to be unusual for “Dadget”: where are the usual “mt23432423” or “mt65656”, but then everything fell into place: the device’s article has a more familiar designation - MT5095 .







But first things first!



Gadgets for sleeping



Technology for improving sleep quality is one of our favorite topics because reviews can be written without looking up from the pillow . During the existence of our blog, we talked a lot about breathing and heart rate trackers, introduced you to soft headphones that help you fall asleep to music, recently discussed strange LED glasses that charge with vigor and even touched on the subject of strange alarms. Of course, the range of devices is much larger: the Sleep Tech category is one of the largest and fastest growing, because a huge number of people are experiencing sleep problems and still thinks that everything is in order. The market for devices in this category five years ago was estimated at $ 58 billion, and by the next should grow to 80 billion. We would, of course, want most of this amount to go to sales of Dawn Plus, but ...



Alarms



A significant part of devices, except for “smart alarms” on the wrist, is associated with health monitoring, cases of sleep apnea. According to the data preceding one of the closed reports, both adult and children's populations experience problems with sleep: work, study. Plus, growth is affected by increased life expectancy and the elderly.



The task of modern technology is to ensure a comfortable sleep, quality rest, and therefore the focus is somewhat shifted to the problems of falling asleep and the duration of sleep. God was merciful - someone is thinking about how we can wake up comfortably. They think, I must say, in different ways. For example, according to the SensorWake concept, a pleasant awakening will provide pleasant aromas of coffee or sea breeze, which will reduce stress in the early morning. The most understandable and confirmed by science idea is awakening under the imitation of natural dawn.



Light therapy



The positive effect of light is scientifically justified, and in relation to the topic there is a series of evidence of the effectiveness of the "light deception" of our brain. One study suggests that simulating dawn can be a safe and effective way to correct sleep disorders.



Problems with violations of sleep-wake cycles are especially acute in industrial societies, where there is the possibility of artificially interfering with the environment, or more simply in the evening, turn on the light bulb. The so -called social Jetlag begins to manifest itself already in adolescence, or, again, simply put when young people begin to obey their parents less and then devote more time to study, friends, computer screens. In view of this, the cycle of falling asleep is shifted and, as a result, waking up becomes more difficult. In a number of countries, for example, they even suggest shifting the start time for students from 8 am to a later time, on average, by an hour and a half, which is calculated with mathematical precision and dozens of variables. The peak period of difficulties is the dark seasons with early sunset.



At the same time, it is completely optional to be a mathematician in order to feel all the charms of adulthood on yourself: lack of vigor, a feeling of irritation, tiredness in the morning and other social markers, such as “coffee with you” or energy cans, obviously expose the problem and affect the personal economy.



In this sense, imitation of natural light, even if not completely, can compensate for the problem with unnatural times for a person to rise, and one of the means is a light alarm. The scheme of action is quite simple: as specified on the website of the US National Sleep Fund, light stimulates the production of cortisol, the wake hormone. No magic.



Dawn plus



As an aid in this sense, Dawn Plus is the optimal solution. Firstly, it is still inexpensive - 3990 rubles . As far as one can judge, the main competitor now is Philips (which, incidentally, was not too lazy to conduct its own performance tests), but there are no longer any earlier cheaper models, and the main offer is alarms in the range from 8 to 13 thousand rubles.



Secondly, ease of use. The alarm clock is a display on the stand, which is surrounded by an LED panel.







Since the panel supports several intensity modes, during wakefulness such an alarm clock can replace a nightlight. Diode light is also configurable.







The alarm is controlled thanks to the small touch panel at the base: here are the functions for setting the time, setting the alarm, brightness control, etc.







Also, one of the chips was the integration of wireless charging - in the center of the stand. The idea was on the surface. Let's say HomeTree successfully exploits this theme in a new version of its nightlight.



The charging space is surrounded by a rubber ring so that the smartphone does not accidentally slip in the process.







On the back there is a speaker: the alarm clock wakes up not only with light!









15 minutes before the appointed time, an imitation of dawn is activated: the light will gradually increase according to its algorithm from 1 to 100%. At the set time, the alarm will sound.



You can choose one of 6 music scenarios to choose from:





Temperature and humidity



A dadget would not be a Dadget, of course, if you ignored your favorite "climate" topic: a temperature and humidity sensor is integrated in Dawn Plus.



A lot of factors influence sleep, and the climatic environment is one of those, therefore, in this context, the presence of something like this looks logical. For example, an excess of humidity in a room can provoke respiratory and lung diseases, and a lack can negatively affect the mucous membranes. As part of the “comfortable sleep” problem, this can be generally a plus for this device.



Battery



Dawn Plus works from the network: the cable and adapter are included, but on the back there is a compartment for a small battery. In this case, the CR is designed to save the device’s settings if you disconnect it from the network so as not to start at 00:00 each time.







Brief Summary



A light alarm is a good acquisition and it feels like waking up has really become a little easier and more comfortable. Of course, like any tool, this is not universal. For example, in one of the reviews on the foreign internet, we read that, they say, "I am sleeping, with my face buried in a pillow - what kind of light can you see there ?!". Nevertheless, in most cases this can work.



Dawn Plus seems quite profitable because of the small additional bonuses in the form of determining the temperature and humidity, built-in charging and quite bright light, if we consider it additionally as a night lamp. It is controlled very simply, clearly without instructions, although it is in Russian. One way or another, holidays are coming soon, and for some it can become a decent gift!
