Last year I reviewed the Lumie Bodyclock Active 250 which completely changed the way that I woke up each morning. But, a year later and Lumie have many new products on the market and they sent me their latest model, the Lumie Bodyclock LUXE 700 to try out to see how far Lumie have come in a  year.

Lumie Bodyclock LUXE 700 Review and Giveaway!

The Lumie Bodyclock LUXE 700 is the perfect bedside companion but it is so much more than an alarm clock. The light works by feeling just like sunrise, so you can wake naturally each morning. This has helped my mood, as I wake easier in the morning, and it’s really helped my body clock too.

I now use the light to wind down each evening, using the sunset feature whilst I read a book and relax. Then, overnight, there’s a blue light feature that works as a low nightlight and also creates the perfect ambience to drift off to sleep.

One of my favourite uses for the Bodyclock LUXE 700 is music. It has really good quality built in speakers and the ability to stream music or the radio through bluetooth but it also has an USB input for access to more music files or just to charge your phone by your bed whilst you sleep – and free up a plug socket.

When it comes to waking up in the morning, if you don’t want to rely purely on the sunrise light on the Bodyclock LUXE 700, there are twenty different sounds that you can wake up by – or that can help you drift to sleep, depending on the sound. These are all things like birds, water noises or the weather and are all pretty relaxing.

You can program the alarm for 7 days, setting your wake up times depending on work, school or weekends and if you have the same pattern each week this means you won’t have to be constantly setting an alarm each night – one less thing to do, giving you more time to unwind.

The Bodyclock LUXE 700 is mains powered so you won’t have to worry about constantly replacing batteries and comes with both a UK and EU plug adapters. We’ve found the Bodyclock LUXE 700 easy to set up, intuitive to use and a great addition to our morning and evening routine, helping us to wake up more easily and end the day in the most relaxed way possible. It’s a great way of beating those winter blues and making us feel more alive and energised throughout the day.

The Lumie Bodyclock LUXE 700 has an RRP of £170.00

  1. I’ve heard such good things about these, and love the idea of being woken up gently with the sunrise feature, rather than with a jolt from a beeping alarm (or a shouting child in my case!). I didn’t know they also had a sunset feature though, that’s a really nice idea to help you get off to sleep. x

  2. I am a terrible sleeper – always have been ever since I was a baby! Yes, my mam told me I never slept as a baby, toddler or child. I dont sleep well so wake with the larks and feel unrefreshed. I will try anything to help me!

  4. I think it would really help me cope with Winter. I get SAD this time of year and it just makes me want to hibernate. I think this would raise my spirits and motivation each day

    Reply
  5. I have a very early start and long work commute to the secondary school and in the winter often never see daylight at all, as I leave when it’s dark and dark again when I finally go home! I often get really down in the dumps, especially in January and have always wanted to try a Lumieclock, to be eased into the morning rather than shocked by the noise of an alarm

  14. I don’t sleep well and often have difficulty waking up. The alarm clocks that we have tried all wake me up reasonably suddenly which leaves me grumpy. I’m sure my husband would be very grateful if this clock woke me up gently and naturally, thanks.

I do suffer with anxiety which I’ve tried to overcome without the need for medication, I’m not quite there yet and I do think this will benefit me.

  24. I think I’d have to try this one out to see if I believed it. I’ve heard of the natural light things before to wake you up more naturally but I’m not convinced anything would put me in a good mood about getting up early!

  37. My husband is a cancer sufferer (myeloma) and frequently has disturbed nights sleep (we both do) and I think maybe a Lumie would set a routine, rather than waking up and looking at the clock he could wait for Lumie to get brighter and signal the start to another day, nothing ventured, nothing gained and at the moment we’re getting precious little sleep

    Reply
  38. I’m a super heavy sleeper, and so when my alarm goes off it sometimes causes me to jump and scares the living hell out of me. So to have something that wakes gently would be so nice!

    Reply
  39. I hate getting up. I use my mobile phone as an alarm clock and hate the noise it makes. I think this would wake me up gently.

  40. I have read reports that the Lumie Light Body Clock can improve the health and sleep for Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS sufferers, so I’d love to try it for myself. It would be so nice to wake up before 1pm in the daylight to then only feel like the day is just a couple of hours long. I’m really hoping this will give me some of my life back and all those moments with the family that I’m missing. Thank you so very much for this chance,, this would mean the world to me…Merry Christmas x

  41. I’m an absolute grump first thing in the morning! My sleep pattern is all over the place too. I have cleaned up my ‘sleep hygiene’ but think that a Lumie Body Clock would really help cement it into a routine – having to get up in the pitch black dark each day certainly doesn’t help it!

  62. Even though winter is actually my favourite season I find that no matter how early I go to bed I still wake up feeling sluggish and tired – this often affects my mood and I sometimes feel irritable and low. I have mentioned this to my GP who advised making the most of the daylight hours by getting as much fresh air and exercise as I can. I think this illuminating light could give me a great start to the day.

    Reply
  63. I think (or hope) that this could help me – I’ve tried pretty much everything else! I’m disabled and struggle to sleep – some nights I get literally zero sleep and this has a bad effect on my health. Without sleep my muscles can’t recover and as a result the amours of muscle spasms I get increases and my pain levels get a lot worse. Then my pain keeps me awake – it’s a vicious circle!

    Reply
  64. This would be great to try and regulate my sleep habits and patterns. The idea of drifting off to sleep peacefully and waking up in better mood is like heaven! Xo

  65. Waking up in a better way might make me have a nicer mood for the day instead of being a grumpy guts in the morning after listening to the horrible alarm going off!
