How does the “Daylight” work?
Lightanditsintensityinuencemanyoftheprocessesoflife.Ifwedonot
get enough bright light, after a while the body and mind can react to this.
Many of us experience the effects of light deprivation as being unpleasant,
and as adversely affecting our quality of life. In autumn and winter, the
seasons with the least sunlight because of shorter days, increased symptoms
resultingfromlightdeprivationmaybeexperienced.Evenstandardarticial
lighting in buildings cannot compensate for a shortage of natural light. The
consequences of this may be depression, lack of drive, interrupted sleep and
melancholia – the typical autumn/winter blues.
Intended Use:
Light therapy offers you a convenient and effective way of compensating for
the lack of light without resorting to medication. It is a photo therapy devices
used for Season Affective Disorder (SAD) treatment. It can help counteract
the tiredness, low spirits, lack of concentration, loss of appetite, irritability,
and the lack of energy that many people experience in autumn and winter,
when the days are darker and shorter. These symptoms, which are thought
to be caused by a disruption of our biological clock, are referred to as SAD or
the winter blues. The “Daylight” uses very bright lights (over 10,000 luxe) to
simulate natural sunlight, whilst eliminating the dangerous UV rays contained
in sunlight. Exposure should be regular over a lengthy period (on a daily basis
for at least 1 week). The light is absorbed through the eyes and should ideally
betakenearlierintheday,inadditiontonaturaldaylightandarticiallighting.
It is not however necessary to look at the lamp constantly during exposure.
