Finally!

I had this idea many years ago, and am so glad someone finally came up with it! I wish I had the know-how to have been the one to get rich from my brilliant idea... Anyway, this is available at Costco.com.

Daybreak Duo® Sunrise/Sunset Simulator


Enlarge Shipping Information

The Daybreak Duo® sunrise/sunset simulator lets you wake up to your own personal sunrise, naturally. Only from Apollo Health - The Body Clock Experts.

Your Body Clock Affects Your Sleep, Mood & Energy.

For decades, doctors have recommended light therapy for treating mood and sleep problems. This is because a center in your brain's hypothalamus (called the body clock) uses the light found in natural sunlight to regulate sleep, wake and energy cycles. If you struggle with sleep, mood or energy, your body clock may not be getting proper light signals.

A Better Way to Wake Up - Naturally
Your body knows when to wake up from the light/dark signals it receives. Unlike the sudden jolt of your alarm clock, your Daybreak Duo® creates a sunrise that wakes you gradually, the way nature intended.

You'll Sleep Better, Too
8 of 10 Americans struggle to get out of bed in the morning, and have problems sleeping at night.

Traditional alarm clocks compound this problem because they wake us by startling us out of our sleep, preventing us from completing the final stage of sleep. This is vital to feeling energized when we wake, and being ready to sleep at the right time.

Dawn simulation restores the balance of sunrise/sunset that our bodies crave. Now for the first time ever, dawn/dusk technology typically reserved for Sleep Labs is available for use in your own home.†

Wake Up With Gradually Increasing Light - Instead Of A Harsh, Jarring Alarm.
The Daybreak Duo® eases you into the morning with light that increases over a period of time you specify. This allows your body to complete the important final stages of sleep.

Awake Refreshed, Reduce Grogginess
When you feel that you just can't wake up, it's probably due to your body clock being out of synch. Dawn simulation helps readjust your body clock by giving it properly-timed light signals, so that you wake up refreshed and ready for the day.

Fall Asleep Faster With Your Own "Sunset"
if you have trouble falling asleep at night, the Daybreak Duo® can help your body adjust with a simulated sunset of gradually-decreasing light. This causes the body clock to shut down production of "active" hormones and start producing melatonin to induce sleep.†

Works With Your Existing Lighting
The Daybreak Duo® works with the bed-side lamp you already have in your bedroom, making it easy to install and use immediately. You don't need additional accessories and you don't have to redecorate!

Additional Daybreak Duo® Features:

  • Three ways to wake up: light, music, or backup alarm
  • Works with most standard bed-side table lamps (lamp not included)
  • Attractive, interchangeable faceplates (three faceplates included)
  • Touch-screen for easy programming.
  • AM/FM radio
  • Snooze/nap functions
  • Adjustable sunrise and sunset length (15 minutes to 2 hours)
  • 2 Wake time settings
  • 3 Radio presets - remembers 3 of your favorite stations for instant tuning.

  • ETL approved, US & Canada

Sleep Better. Wake Refreshed. Have More Energy. Improve Your Mood.

Your Mom and I sure missed out on a lot of healthy sunrises. But we got plenty of rising with the sunsets. ;)
