Optimize your settings

Everybody has a different way to wake up. Some like their sunrise short and bright, others slow and dim.

To help you wake up pleasantly every day, the Wake-up Light offers settings to adjust the light intensity, the sound volume and the sunrise duration. Finding the combination that suits you is easy if you follow these simple recommendations:

1.	Start with medium levels for all settings: light level 10, volume 10, duration 30 minutes.
2.	If you would like to feel more alert when you wake up, increase the light level or the sunrise duration.
3.	If you wake up too early, decrease the light level or the sunrise duration. You can also place the Wake-up Light further from your pillow.
4.	Adjust those parameters until you find a combination that makes you feel alert at alarm time.

It typically takes a few days to first get used to the Wake-up Light and then find your preferred settings.

If you need additional reassurance, you can set a backup alarm in this app with a louder volume. For example, set your main alarm for 7:00 with light and sound, and a backup alarm at 7:30 with sound only. The backup alarm will ring even during a snooze period.
