Dark and cold mornings can pose a challenge for early risers during the winter months. Research suggests that waking up in the absence of daylight can have a negative impact on mental well-being, making it even harder to get out of bed before sunrise. Stacey Solomon, known for sharing home decor tips and gadgets, may have found a solution to make those early mornings more manageable.
On Instagram, Stacey revealed her morning routine for Joe Swash’s birthday, featuring her daylight lamp that helps her wake up at 7 am more comfortably in the winter.
Displayed in her Instagram story was the Blonbar Bedside Lamp, currently priced at £26.99 on Amazon, reduced from £42.99. This lamp not only functions as a sunrise alarm clock but also includes a convenient wireless phone charging feature compatible with most Qi-Certified smartphones.
The Blonbar Bedside Lamp offers three brightness levels (30%, 60%, 100%) and can be controlled via touch controls. It features a clock screen with adjustable brightness levels, allowing users to customize the light intensity and view the time easily.
Acting as an alarm clock, the sunrise lamp gradually brightens 10 minutes before the set alarm time, simulating natural daylight. With 15 alarm tones and a snooze function, it ensures a gentle wake-up experience akin to spring and summer mornings.
In addition to its wake-up functionalities, the bedside lamp includes ten soothing sleep sounds like birdsong and ocean waves to promote relaxation and quick sleep onset. It features a countdown timer for the sleep sounds, automatically turning off at the designated time.
Other budget-friendly alternatives to consider are the Lumie Sunrise Alarm at Boots for £39.99 (originally £49.99) and the Elements Light Up Alarm Clock at Dunelm for £25.
Highly rated on Amazon with nearly 900 reviews predominantly giving 4 or 5 stars, the Blonbar Bedside Lamp has garnered praise from satisfied customers for its quality, design, and functionality.
While some reviewers mention challenges with the wireless charging depending on phone case size, overall feedback is positive, highlighting the lamp’s ease of use and effectiveness in aiding sleep and wake-up routines.
