How to set up a light alarm clock

  2. Then you have to program the light switch. Here, too, you must follow the instructions contained in the operating instructions for the switch.
  3. Program the switch so that you have enough time to wake up. About 20 minutes are ideal.
  4. Expect not to wake up as soon as the lights go on. Your body wakes up bit by bit. That is the reason why waking up with a light alarm clock is particularly gentle and pleasant.

  6. If you find that it is taking you longer to wake up than you think, simply set the alarm clock to a slightly earlier time. In this way, you can also determine immediately whether you have done everything correctly when setting up the alarm clock.
