How Does Light Therapy Work?

Light is the biggest external factor that sets  our body clock. Our bodies run in-sync with  the natural light of the sun and sets our mood, energy, focus and sleep. 

Our lamps mimic the color and brightness of  the sun and are an easy and effective way to  get exposure to bright light indoors. 

When bright light enters the eyes, it stimulates specialized receptors cells that set your body clock and regulates our sleep/wake cycle.

WHEN SHOULD I USE MY LIGHT?

In the morning. Exposure to bright light in the early part of the day stimulates receptors in your eyes and sets your body clock for the day. Morning light is most effective in helping us be awake, alert and energetic during the day.

In the afternoon, short sessions can be used as a pick-me-up to combat the after-lunch slump that many of us feel.

HOW TO USE OUR LAMP

Do not stare at the lamp. Instead, set the lamp off to the either side of your face, and let the light shine into your eyes without looking directly at the lamp. Most people use their lamps at their desk while on their computer, watching TV or reading. You should notice positive benefits after using your lamp for a week. 

Our suggestion is setting up the lamp next to you at your work desk or breakfast table. Experiment with the light intensity and session duration. For most people, that's 15 to 60 minutes a day, but your needs may  be different.

QUICK START GUIDE

STEP 1

Position the lamp just off on the side  of your face so that you aren't looking directly into the light.

STEP 2

Place the lamp on a stable surface, preferably a desk, 6"-18" away from your eyes. Rule of thumb is setting the lamp next to your computer screen. You can read, eat or work on your computer while you use the lamp.

Step 3

Do not stare directly at the light. The lamp is effective even when the light reaches your eyes indirectly, from a sideways direction. Use the lamp in a well-lit room to minimize eye strain.

STep 4

Experiment with the light intensity and session duration until you find a routine that's comfortable and effective for you.
