from www.amazon.com
under normal circumstances i simply turn the radio slightly away from the bed and sleep has not been affected.

from www.amazon.com
i haven't noticed the brightness of the display - i think i read in the manual that you can dim it, so i did, and i just turn it away from my bed at bedtime.
from www.amazon.com
personally i just let the sun "rise" - my room is fully lit, and i take a shower and get dressed and it all turns off by itself!
from www.amazon.com
i'm really sensitive to light in my bedroom when i'm trying to sleep.
from www.amazon.com

from www.amazon.com
i intended to put this clock on a bathroom shelf but i couldn't read the display that high up.
