Love this
I've had a BioBrite for about 6 years now, and it is finally giving up it's last breath (clock completely blacks out occasionally, and the light flickers.) Anyway, I'm in the market for a new one and have been reading the reviews. This model does take up a lot of real estate, something I've never liked. The buttons/functions are a bit difficult to figure out the first couple of times you use it, but really, just read the directions, it's not that hard.  My current model does not have nature sounds or white noise -- it makes a soft ticking noise as the audible alarm.  It can be set to either 15 or 30 min to reach full brightness, I like 30, but that drives my husband nuts, so I use the 15. The sunset/dusk feature is nice too, but I usually just leave it bright while reading before bed.<br /><br />With that said, my recommendation is for anyone who has a hatred for waking up and feels like destroying their regular alarm clock in an extremely violent manner when that awful noise goes off  (that's me), using a sunrise light is a much more relaxed, peaceful, calming way to wake up in the morning! I can't imagine that it's healthy to wake up startled and angry everyday, and this peaceful method is so worth it. I will never go back to another type of alarm, and have recommended these to many people.
