For decades, waking up has meant hearing a sound at a specific time.
But there is another way to start the day: using light to create a gradual transition from sleep to wakefulness.
Traditional alarm: simple and straightforward
A traditional audible alarm has a very simple purpose: to make a sound at a set time.
It is effective and easy to use, but waking up can feel abrupt, especially when the bedroom is still completely dark.
How does a sunrise light work?
A sunrise alarm clock begins to light up gradually before the scheduled wake-up time.
The brightness increases little by little until it reaches the selected level.
The idea is to create a gentler transition instead of going straight from darkness to an audible alarm.
Light + sound: a combination
You do not have to choose between light and sound.
A sunrise alarm can combine both: the light gradually brightens first, and a sound starts at the scheduled time to complete the wake-up process.
When can it be particularly useful?
Sunrise lighting may be particularly appealing to people who:
- Wake up before sunrise.
- Sleep in rooms with little natural light.
- Dislike particularly abrupt alarms.
- Want to create a more pleasant morning routine.
- Want to incorporate more light into their daily habits.
Onara: a different way to wake up
Onara combines gradually increasing sunrise light with relaxing sounds, configurable alarms and different brightness levels.
This allows you to adapt your wake-up experience to your own routine.
Because waking up can be a pleasant moment too.
