Introduction

Lumie Bodyclock Starter wakes you with a sunrise that naturally helps to regulate your sleep and wake patterns. You'll wake up in a better mood, find it easier to get up and feel more energetic during the day. There's also a fading sunset to help you unwind at the end of the day and drift off to sleep.

In clinical trials, 'dawn simulators' such as Bodyclock Starter have been shown to improve mood, energy, productivity and the quality of sleep and awakening*. They can also help SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and winter blues sufferers cope with dark winter mornings.

Lumie was the first to launch a dawn simulator range and began selling an early version of Bodyclock in 1993.

Please read these instructions carefully to get the most out of your Bodyclock Starter.

Using Bodyclock Starter

Now that you've set the basic features of Bodyclock Starter, you're ready to use the default settings to help you wake up and get to sleep. If you want to use other settings, see Customising your Bodyclock Starter.

Ideally, you should use Bodyclock Starter all year round to help keep your sleep and wake cycles on track.

Going to sleep

When you're ready to sleep, set the wake-up sunrise by pressing ⚠. The display shows alarm time briefly and ⚡.

Waking up without a sunrise

Sometimes it's nice to have a lie-in so instead of activating the wake-up sunrise, when you're ready to sleep, do the following to activate only the sunset feature:

Press and hold to turn on the light to your preferred brightness. When you're ready to sleep, press both and at the same time. F_n shows on the display (beeps twice) and the light slowly starts to fade.

This also activates the auto-dimming display to help create a relaxing sleeping environment.

To cancel the sunset only feature (the next day's a work day and you need the wake-up sunrise again) press any button. You can now activate your wake-up sunrise in the normal way.

Customising your Bodyclock Starter

You can only change these settings when the wake-up sunrise is not activated. ✦ shows when it's activated, in which case press Ⓧ to turn it off.

Press 0 or 0 to select either beep on or beep OFF. To set, press 0 or wait 12 seconds.

Press ⬆ to turn off the alarm sound in the morning.

Snooze

To snooze, instead of turning off the alarm, press and hold to grab another nine minutes in bed before the alarm goes off again.

Note: If you don't turn them off yourself, the light and the audible alarm turn off automatically after 30 minutes.

Display brightness

You can set the brightness of the display panel to automatically dim to minimise sleep disturbance. When you activate your wake-up sunrise before going to sleep this feature is also activated (see also Waking up without a sunrise).

Press and hold Ⓧ until SETR shows, then press Ⓧ repeatedly until all three Ⓧ symbols flash.

Press Θ or Θ to select either Lo or oFF.

- Lo causes the display panel to dim to a low level when the light is low or off. The display reverts to normal brightness during the wake-up sunrise.

- OFF causes the display panel to dim to a low level then finally off when the light is low or off. The display reverts to normal brightness during the wake-up sunrise.

To set, press ⏻ or wait 12 seconds.

Frequently asked questions

The display panel is too bright when I'm trying to sleep; how can I change it?

See Display brightness for auto-dimming options.
