Nothing beats getting you out of bed the old-fashioned way, as the sun rises. As more people these days are looking for sophisticated alarm clocks to get them out of bed, the Sunrise Alarm Clock looks to be promising, even for people who often complain of waking up on the wrong side of bed.
Like a sunrise, the Soleil Sunrise Alarm Clock light/dawn simulator wakes you naturally and peacefully for the day ahead. The light alarm gradually increases the intensity of its special built-in light, simulating a natural sunrise. Your body wakes instinctively, as if waking with the light of the sun.
This natural method of waking up leaves you feeling refreshed, energized, and in a better mood. Clinical studies at the National Institute of Health indicate that waking to light has been known to help people with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), various forms of depression, and sleep disorders to overcome their problems by increasing daytime energy, limiting winter weight gain, and allowing them to wake up easier.

The “natural sunlight” from the alarm clock probably triggers your body to release Dopamine chemicals to make you feel good. When you feel good, you tend to take on more positive actions for the rest of the day such as eating better, exercising more, being more social etc. So when you’re eating better, exercising more and being more social, you’re less likely to be depressed, less likely to gain weight and less likely to be unhealthy. And when you’re all these things, you get better sleep and the whole cycle perpetuates itself in a positive feedback loop.
But frankly, although a sunlight alarm clock might be beneficial, developing a regular exercise regime is probably better.
