Philips SmartSleep Wake-up Light HF3520 User Manual

Description

This PDF user manual is for the Philips HF3520 SmartSleep Wake-up Light Alarm Clock Radio.

Philips SmartSleep Wake-up Light Alarm Clock Radio (Model: HF3520/60)

Inspired by nature’s sunrise, the Philips Wake-up Light uses a unique combination of light and sound to wake you in a more natural way, so you feel more refreshed. The relaxing sunset simulation helps you wind down for bedtime. Developed with Philips’ clinical Sleep & Respironics healthcare knowledge and our 100+ years of Lighting expertise.

The Philips Wake-Up Light gently prepares your body for waking up during the last 30 minutes of sleep.
In the early morning hours our eyes are more sensitive to light than when we are awake. During that period the relatively low light levels of a simulated natural sunrise prepare our body for waking up and getting alert. People who use the Wake-Up Light wake up more easily, have a better overall mood in the morning and feel more energetic.
Because the sensitivity to light differs per person, you can set the light intensity of your Wake-Up Light to a level that matches your light sensitivity for an optimal start of the day.
