I bought a few Phillips Hue Lightbulbs for my room which turn on at 4:00AM, right when I get out of bed. So far, any night I haven't been out past my usual bed-time, 9:00PM, I have had no trouble waking up and staying alert the rest of the day.
Unfortunately I'm on travel right now so this system isn't accessible to me. I am now frequently finding myself sleeping in until 5:00AM.
- tempestn 11y agoOK, I'll bite: why do you need to get up at 4am, and consider 5am sleeping in?
- seanp2k2 11y agoLiFX makes some nice tunable-color-temperature lightbulbs which can integrate with lots of smart home stuff if you don't want to mess with Amazon marketplace cool/warm LED strips or build your own using a Teensy (look up Adalight and prepare to spend at least a few hours of research + ordering parts + assembling + programming if you go this route). They can do alarms, don't require a hub (they use wifi), and have a built-in feature to follow the sunrise and / or sunset (+/- 3 hrs, configurable): http://www.lifx.com/blogs/light-matters/77583043-schedule-your-lifx-lights-with-the-sun http://www.lifx.com/blogs/light-matters/77583043-schedule-yo... They also have a good HTTP API: http://api.developer.lifx.com http://api.developer.lifx.com The only bad part: $40 per bulb for the ones that do all the shades of white (very warm to very cool). Worth it IMO. The Teensy solution costs at least that much and requires a LOT more time. This is plug and play with the option to tinker more later if you need it. I'm not associated with them in any way other than being a happy owner of a few of them :)
