I bought this alarm, because I'm often particularly bad mood in the dark, cold season and gentle wanted to start the day. This works well with this alarm clock. It took a few days until I set it so that I will not get too frisky - here the only downside for me. The half-hour travel time is too long for me, I wake up usually after 10-15 minutes, when the light is getting light. That would be nice if we could reduce this time ...
