If, like us, you feel like you're getting up in the middle of the night when your alarm goes off in the morning, then allow us to recommend an altogether more lovely way of waking up.

Lumie have developed a 'Bodyclock sunrise' lamp to help us come to during the dark wintry mornings, which sure beats the sound of a beeping alarm.

Bodyclocks are dawn simulators and work by mimicking the effect of the rising sun. They use the body’s natural response to light to provide a gentle and gradual wake-up to leave you feeling refreshed, alert and ready to go in the mornings. They can also help reset your natural 24-hour cycle so that you feel ready for sleep when it’s night.

Lumie's Bodyclock Elite features a special daylight bulb which gradually gets brighter over a 15, 30, 60 or 90 minute interval.  A back-up beeper can also be set or, you can choose the sound of birdsong (lovely), your favourite radio station or even a tune from your MP3 player to bring you round.

A sunset option is also available where the light will gradually dim down to leave you feeling more relaxed and ready for sleep in the evenings. 

So if the thought of waking-up to another dark winter morning is enough to send you into hibernation forever, a gentle sunrise lamp could definitely be worth investing in.

The Bodyclock Elite Lamp (£139.95) is available from Lumie.

A new recipe book promises to help us shift the bulge and still indulge with over 100 new Cook Yourself Thin recipes! 

Featuring a brand-new collection of over 120 recipes, plus hot tips and real-life success stories: ‘Cook Yourself Thin: Quick and Easy’ doesn't plan to revolutionise our eating habits, just tweak a few things.

To drop a dress size in six weeks the average woman only needs to lose between 1 + 2lbs a week. Dieticians and nutritionists agree that low-fat, low-calorie cooking skills, along with a basic knowledge of food labels and portion sizes are the key to keeping trim.

So you can eat all your favourite foods, but you have to cook clever. All the recipes in the book are flexible, easily adaptable and don’t involve hundreds of ingredients you’ve never heard of and are quick and easy to make.

Author Kay Plunkett-Hogge, 44, used to work as a models agent at Models1, looking after the likes of Jerry Hall for many years. Kay says she has been on a diet of some description all her life – from the F Plan, the Hay System all the way to the Beverley Hills diet (pineapple, pineapple and more pineapple) and knows the calorie count of almost anything.

Kay has worked with models for many years, but testifies that the only women who look good at her age are the ones who eat! You cannot starve yourself and sustain looks and energy.

Cook Yourself Thin Quick and Easy is out now (£14.99, Michael Joseph/ Penguin Books). Buy it here or visit www.cookyourselfthin.co.uk to find out more.
