Waking up and getting out of bed in the winter months is never easy. There’s one gadget which could help make mornings a little easier before the clocks go back on Sunday (October 25).
The Lumie Bodyclock Spark 100 Wake-Up Alarm Clock is currently available from Argos for £99 – but with the discount code HOME25, shoppers can get 25% off, bringing the price down to £74.25. While the clocks going back gives us an extra hour in bed, the gadget is a great alternative to a traditional alarm, as it mimics a sunrise to help ease sleepers into the morning naturally.
It uses a 30-minute gradual light which builds in brightness and there are adjustable settings to suit individual preferences. There’s also a fading sunset feature to help shoppers wind down in the evening, and it can fade to off or stay in nightlight mode.

Mixed LEDs recreate proper sunrise and sunset colours, the site says, while the digital display automatically dims based on the light level in the room, so it doesn’t glare in the dark. The snooze function gives a few extra minutes when needed, and there’s an optional alarm beep if the light alone doesn’t do the trick.
It also features a power failure backup, so no one will miss their alarm if there’s a blip overnight. The site says the light sensor adjusts the display brightness without users having to lift a finger, and it comes with a three-year manufacturer’s guarantee, too.

A second wrote: “I bought the Lumie Bodyclock last month and have used it every day since. It is without doubt the best way to be woken. There is no more ‘hit the snooze’ button and I feel that I am sleeping better, too.” A third added: “This has made my morning routine so much better. It very gently wakes you up with light, which is a better way to wake up early than an obnoxiously loud phone alarm.”
Others deducted stars in their reviews, such as this person who said: “I bought this for a birthday present. It is simple to use and has made her very happy. While it’s value for money, I would say it is very basic in design.”
Another commented: “Loved the idea of this clock but it was awkward to handle for an older person with arthritic hands. No problem returning it.”
