Description
Light Awake uses pulsating light to gently rouse you from sleep. There are no sharp, piercing noises that startle you awake. Its flashing light is designed to stimulate your circadian system and comfortably move your mind from slumber to consciousness. This is the only wake-up system that is based on the physiology of our eyes and brain.
Currently compatible with iOS devices, this patented technology is especially helpful for:
∙ Shift workers
∙ People with hearing loss
∙ Sleep partners with different schedules
∙ Families with light sleepers or small children
∙ Teenagers and college students
∙ Roommates in close quarters
Light Awake is based on how the brain responds to light. Our body produces melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep, based on how much light it senses. It’s the same biological response that wakes up animals that are active during the day. Birds and dogs don’t need a piercing alarm and neither do humans!

***Note: Light Awake is a different kind of alarm clock***
To ensure proper alarm clock function, after you set your alarm, the screen will dim and go into sleep mode. It is important, if you use another app after you set your alarm, you disable/reset the alarm to ensure the sleep mode is initiated and the alarm goes off properly.

Ratings and Reviews
Some odd flaws
Neat idea, I have an iPhone and was impressed that it flashed the flash light as well. Tested the alarm and turned my screen off. Didn't work. Not until I unlocked my phone and then the alarm went off minutes later. Is it a requirement to leave your phone screen on ALL night just for the alarm??

Hello Haley. Thank you for the review. For now it is required for app to run in background, so phone has to be running. We are looking into solving this problem. However, while you phone is on please try our specialized audio such as white or pink noise to help you go to and stay asleep.
One job…
The main job is for the alarm to go off. Hey m not missing something, am I?
As it turns out…. it didn’t. Go off that is.
And the reason (below) indicates that it’s a design issue.
When I woke up (1h 45m after I was supposed to), I saw an alert on my phone: ‘your carrier service has an update. Want to do it, yes or no?’
I dismissed the notification and then my alarm blared to life. An hour and 45 minutes late. Nice.
The app itself is really easy to use and set/activate.
And per the app’s instructions, after setting the wake up time, I didn’t touch my phone.
The fact that a random notification like that caused the alarm to delay sound more like it’s still in beta, not ready for public consumption. And maybe so, that’s fine.
Perhaps when the basic bugs get worked out, it’ll be good. It was a good idea…

Hello Joe,
I am sorry the alarm not go off as expected but the new version has fixed those bugs. Please give us another try. We are offering a Smart Bulb to pair with app and many more audio features in the near future. Please email use at feedback@lightawake.biz for more information.
Nervous to leave iphone on all night:
I’m a little bit scared to leave the iphone on all night as it could potentially overheat, or cause issues to my phone in the long run. Just gonna stick to the iphone default alarms this time
