   I want one! Let me know if it works before I spend that kind of money.
   *** They have a 45 day money back quarantee. That’s plenty of time to see if it does. There’s a cheaper one, but it doesn’t have the dusk simulation to help put you to sleep. ~Laura

   AWESOME!!!! FRIKKING CHICKEN SCIENCE AWESOMENESS!
   We had one of these alarms for D in the HOPE it would get him up in time, it was a complete failure, the only alarm we have ever had which actually worked at getting us up is the old fashioned ding-a-ling-a-ling alarm with the little hammer and two bells. Without fail that baby gets us up and I’m never grouchy about it
   *** Oh my regular alarm makes me grouchy. This one you can d/l whatever sound you want the alarm to be. I’m looking forward to seeing if it helps. OMG insomnia SUCKS. ~Laura

   The only thing that gets me up @ 3AM IN THE MORNING. (sorry) is the good ole radio talk show. OMG I get out of bed and SMACK that thing as hard as I can. I hate other people in my room when I’m sleeping……
   *** It’s not that I can’t wake up- any alarm can wake me- it’s that I need a more human sleep pattern- my internal clock needs adjusting. It has a dusk fade-out and then a morning fade-in. Worth a try for the price of one prescription of Ambien. ~Laura

   I have a dog that comes in every morning between 5:30 and 6:00 am and licks me in the face…(I shower) apparently he feels this is bone time. He has to have a bone cookie. I dont mind except on the weekends. I try to sleep toward the middle of the bed so he cant reach me but then he just whines until he gets his cookie… Bastard!
   *** Well, my animals are used to ME being up at all hours so they need readjusting too if my pattern ever gets fixed. ~Laura

    I want that cool job where you set up rooster science. Those guys look really committed to their project and celebrated a whole lot more than ghost busters. I wonder how you get on the rooster research team.

    I am actually such a dumbass that I once bought an alarm clock that you turned off with sound — like the Clapper, but you were supposed to whistle at it. Well, you may not know this, but it’s virtually IMPOSSIBLE to WHISTLE when you first wake up… but I found the noise the clock made when it hit the wall would also turn it off…

    Thats cool! Are you going to keep a regular alarm as back up? My insomnia is both can’t fall asleep and then I wake up a LOT during the night, about 30-60x. Under 10 is normal. (3 sleep studies, not rooster science)
    I had a per rooster just like that one. I would strap leather to my arm and go walking with him there. Ha!
    *** HA! You and your attack rooster. It has a sound alarm in it. I’m in this for the light therapy aspect. I’ve had sleep studies too, they just looked for apnea.Most of it is voodoo science, so going in the rooster direction isn’t really that odd. ~Laura

    Waking up at 3AM? I have little kids, so that kind of makes me an expert, not that anyone asks how I stay sane and awesome.
    I will have to check out the video when I get home, cause the work Nazis block youtube.
    Todays SoCal suggestion: Laguna Beach is a nice area to walk around with lots of shops and gallerys and right there at the beach. They have a BJ’s Chicago Pizza there, so I never checked out other restaurants in the area, but they are there. Depending on the time of year, they have the Pagent of the Masters, which you should definitely look into.

    Considering you have an iPhone, there is a free iTunes app that simulates this. But the video for it is less scientific and there is no goat in it. It doesn’t seem as bright as the light you ordered but it looks like it could do the job as well.
    Wake-up Lite By Pico Brothers
    Video – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD_vcSsGMuc
    Description
    Wake-up Lite helps you start your day full of energy, the same way you do on a bright summer morning.
    How does it work
    The Wake-up light starts producing light 30 min before your wake-up time. During this time the light brightens at an optimum rate. When the light falls on your eyes it sends a signal to your brain to increase the production of cortisone which is also referred to as the energy hormone.
    Tips
    Best results are achieved with a dock style charger, that allows the iPhone to stand up. Note! You need to keep the application open in order for it to wake you up. The application will not go to sleep. It is therefore recommended that you have the iPhone connected to a charger to avoid draining the battery. For best sunrise effect, tune the iPhone brightness as high as possible and enable automatic brightness. If you want the black night screen to be less bright in the night, turn off the lights in the room so it is as dark as possible, press the iPhone lock button, then lock it up again. Now the brightness is lower, but will be at maximum at wake-up.
    *** I had seen that..but opted for a brighter light, plus iTunes didn’t have a rooster and a goat advertising it. Ha! ~Laura

    Lemme just tell you about roosters. They crow at all hours of the fuckin’ day and night. It doesn’t appear to have much to do with actual daylight. Or maybe it is because it is always dawn *somewhere*. Suffice it to say, it’s obnoxious as hell.
    I am curious to know how well your wake-up light works, though, even if their rooster science is faulty.
