I thought the same about my Soleil Sunrise clock and mine gradually gains time too. Like you, I expected more for the money, but I'm still happy with mine and neither issue bothers me. The brightness of the digital display is definitely a concern which is the case with just about any alarm clock. I always keep mine covered. If you buy the 300W adapter and hook it up to a bright lamp, I highly doubt that you'll need the radio anymore. :) Hi Maynard, thanks for your feedback!

I got it several years ago. It seemed much smaller and cheaper looking then it looked online. It works okay but not the best. My Sun Alarm clock time tends to gain about a minute or two every month. Although, I would better it to be fast then slow but I expected it to be more accurate then that. Another concern I have with the Sun Alarm clock is the lighted digital read-out. I notice when I turn the lights out that the read-out is too bright. If you are trying to be as natural and mimic nature as best as you can by having a room that is as dark as you can get it then this will be of concern. I have to cover the digital-read-out with something so I can have a relatively dark room so as to mimic nature as best as possible which was the reason in the first place that I bought this alarm clock. The radio leaves much to desire as well too. The stations come in much better when the alarm clock is in your hand then when it is not. A weaker station that seemed strong while setting it might not even come in at all when it is just sitting on your night table and when it is time to wake up in the morning. I found this out the hard way when I did not wake up at all one morning to just the light. I have not been to their website in a while but I know that they had a more expensive one that was built into a real lamp. I have the Soleil Sun Alarm clock. I got it several years ago.

Now that fall is here and most of us have to wake up in the dark, it's a great time for a sunlight alarm. Hi Kris, thanks for your recommendation!

I highly recommend it. Worth every penny. I bought the biobrite 4 or 5 years ago. I highly recommend it. Worth every penny.

This will prevent you from sleeping through the light. The Soleil has both a buzzer and a radio while the BioBrite only has the buzzer. I bought mine online and haven't seen them locally. You can use the links in the article to buy them online. Hi Tracey,

I'm afraid that I will buy one and put my pillow over my head to block out the sun. I usually get up by 6am (there is no sun at that time) and really hate to hear the alarm. I would love to try this although really worried that I will over sleep. Also do they sell them in a store or do you have to order them online? Can you also use the alarm/radio?
