TrueDawn™ Technology—A Better Way to Wake Up For eons, our bodies have adapted to sunrise and sunset to know when to wake up and when to sleep.
WAKE 1 CLOCK TIME Sleep Latency Natural Sunrise: Natural Sunrise increases very slowly at first, allowing a gradual awakening. 5:30AM 6 MAIN CLOCK DISPLAY TOUCH SCREEN BUTTON PANEL Standard alarm clock: Alarm clocks disrupt the last stages of sleep, increasing sleep latency and delaying alertness. Alertness TrueDawn™ Technology Just like sunrise, TrueDawn follows a sigmoidal light curve—the right type of increasing intensity— which signals the body clock without causing premature awakening.

FAQ FAQ What should I do if the light doesn’t wake me up? Should I use a special type of incandescent bulb with my Daybreak? When you first start using the Daybreak, consider using the backup alarm or radio as part of your wake mode settings. Be sure you are using a lamp that provides sufficient brightness to light up your entire room. Also, many people find that increasing the duration of the sunrise helps them wake up at the right time.
Service and Repair Service and Repair Your Daybreak needs no regular service except for an occasional dusting or cleaning of the outside of the enclosure. Dust with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. A damp cloth—wet with water or a mild window cleaner—may be used to wipe surfaces. Be sure to unplug the Daybreak before cleaning. Do not spray directly with any fluids or immerse in water.
