Do you find it difficult to wake up in the morning? A new kind of alarm clock is trying to help combat this. A light therapy alarm clock (sunrise alarm) uses light to help make waking up easier. The alarm clock uses lights that slowly increase in brightness to simulate the sunrise. This exposure to light makes it easier for your brain to wake up.
