If the sound of your alarm clock is enough to turn you into the head-spinning child from The Exorcist, Lumie’s Bodyclock Advanced could be what you need to shrug off your slumber more gently in the morning. Simulating a natural sunrise, the brightening light helps you to wake up in stages. Well, that’s if you’re into being woken up by the sight of Duncan Goodhew’s glowing baldy cranium.
