Sunrise Bed It’s hard for you to get up in the morning, isn’t it? To help you get up, a company has created a sunrise bed. It wakes you up gently as a sunrise does. Lights built into the bed turn on and start to get brighter and brighter. When the lights are fully on, soft music will begin to play. It will be louder and louder until you turn it off. The company explains, “The gentle light tells your body that it is morning, so it’s easier for you to get up.” |
