How should I use bedside table lamps?

For example, use a Wake up automation — this allows your bedside table lamps to gradually brighten in the morning to help you wake up naturally. Some lamps, like the Signe gradient table lamp in oak, feature a blend of brilliant light that mimics the morning sky when using the Sunrise wake-up style.
