"Dear Jess,
I have never, ever, EVER voluntarily gotten out of bed
before 10:00am before (earthquakes don't count). This fact
has caused me much stress and I honestly thought I'd never
be able to hold a 9 to 5 job because of the lethargy I'd
feel in the morning (and afternoon for that matter).
Thanks again, and I will tell all sluggish people I run
across to buy your simulator! "
FROM "A"
"I just wanted to say that I have used
your Sunrise Simulator for more than 5 years now. When I
was in Massachusetts, it was literally the only reason that
I was able to get out of bed on those cold, dark winter
mornings. Now that I am in Virginia, I still use it every
fall and winter. It really helps! Plus it still works
perfectly after several years. It may not be as fancy as
some of the others that cost $90-180, but it is an
extremely good value--very afforable and dependable. Thanks
for improving the quality of my life."
FROM another "A"
"I bought your sunrise simulator last year. I have ALWAYS
had a hard time getting out of bed in the morning during
the fall and winter. I just could not wake up. I'd put the
light on immediately, but I had to lay in bed for a half
hour before I felt really awake. With your product, I set
my alarm to go off 20 - 30 minutes after my sunrise light
is first activated, and I actually WAKE UP. This device has
given me back something really valuable: previously wasted
time!"

"Dear Jess:
It's been several months since I've had my dawn simulator;
I wanted to wait 'til the depths of the dark Canadian
winter before I reported back.
I can hardly believe the difference your wonderful little
gadget has made to my life. Waking slowly and gently to
increasing light intensity is a luxury here, where mornings
on working days are dark as jar of mollases. Months on end
of easily waking (in a state of near euphoria too) instead
of a groggy wakefulness.
I can't thank you enough!!"
FROM "B":
"I purchased a light therapy timer from your company
approximately 6 months ago and I want to tell you that is
the best investment I have ever made. It has changed my
life for the better.
I no longer wake up feeling tired and I do not want to stay
in bed. I have more energy than I have ever had and have
not had any depression since I have been on the
therapy.
I do know it works because about 3 weeks ago my electricity
went out and messed the timer up. I never reset it. I began
waking up late for work and was tired all the time. I could
not understand why. Then my husband told me I had not been
using my light.
Thank you very much for creating a light that I could
afford and that has definitely changed my life for the
better."
FROM "V":
"I have SAD and have been using your simultor for 3 months
- wonderful results. I set mine to start at 5:30 am and I
am sometimes awake before waiting for it to come on. I am
always up long before it turns off at 7:00 am. I am not a
morning person so this is a drastic change for me.
I go to bed between 10:00 and 10:30 pm and stay up all day.
I do not take any medication now. I only had 2 or 3 bad
days at the beginning of the three months.
Thanks! Would recommend to anyone with SAD."
FROM "J":
"I wanted to write a brief note of thanks. The Lighten Up
has really helped me in waking up in a completely different
way. Usually, I cannot bear any light in the morning,
showering in the dark before even a light can be put on.
Not being able or wanting to rise from sleep. Your product
has changed that, even my disposition has changed which to
people around me I am sure is a welcome relief!
Also the promptness of service and delivery was well
appreciated.
Thank-you for inventing this product for your wife it was
thoughtful and it will help many others at an affordable
price."
FROM "C":
"It really helps me wake up when the mornings are dark. When I couldn't wake up, I would oversleep, miss work, and sleep large portions of time. ALL OF WHICH REALLY MADE ME DEPRESSED. I felt nonfunctional. Now I'm back in the game. I'm me again."
"I am so glad you made this. I love it!"
From a teenager: "I hate it, it makes me wake up in the morning. I wanted to sleep in!" (She covered the light with a pillow and slept in!)
