micky2be 2 The item does a really good job as a light.The waking sequence is really nice and I love itBut...Turning off the alarm is a real pain in the but.You are supposed to push the alarm button corresponding of the one that went off.But there 4 alarms setting and 2 alarm buttons.And if you press the wrong button it wil deactivate the alarm for the next morning, while you continue searching for the right button.Because yeah, the button are on the side. So depending which side of the bed you are sleeping on the usability may differ.
