In which case, light therapy could be the solution.
Your body clock is slow
Do you tend to fall asleep too late and have a hard time getting up in
the morning?
We advise a light therapy session as soon as you wake up.
Your body clock is fast
Do you have a hard time staying awake in the evening and do you wake up
too early in the morning? We advise a light therapy session at the end of the
afternoon or the beginning of the evening, two or three hours before the time
you plan to go to bed.
4. To treat jet lag
Jet lag is the result of crossing several time zones very rapidly, usually in a
plane, and results in disturbed body rhythms: insomnia, drowsiness, physical
and intellectual fatigue, mood swings, difficulty concentrating...
Some simple steps and the use of Luminette
symptoms.
• During the flight
Set your watch to the time zone of your destination, drink lots of water and try
not to drink alcohol, coffee or tea.
• When you arrive
If you are travelling east, when you arrive we advise you to avoid sunlight
on the first morning (by wearing blue blocker glasses or high sun protection
sunglasses) and to get as much as you can in the afternoon (by, for example,
using your Luminette ® ) in order to maintain low levels of melatonin. During the
following days, put your session forward by two hours a day, taking care not to
go past your normal bedtime.
If you are travelling west, once you arrive, we advise you to stay awake as long
as it is still light, and to wear your Luminette
(between midday and 3pm). But as soon as it is dark, go to sleep.
5. To optimise shift work
If you work for more than three nights in a row and you have a hard time staying
awake at work and/or on your way home, then we recommend a light
therapy session just before starting work and, if you get drowsy, a second
12
can considerably reduce the
®
® at the beginning of the afternoon
session during your work break.
We also advise that you talk to your GP.

B. How long does a light therapy session last?
The recommended duration of a session depends on the intensity of the light
received by the eye.
Your Luminette ® allows you to choose from three different light intensities.
The table below will tell you the recommended duration of use for your
Luminette depending on the position you choose.

Select the intensity you're most comfortable with. Once the session time is up,
the LEDs will blink 3 times to let you know. They will then remain lit.
C. How often do I have to use my Luminette?
Use the Luminette every day at the right time to achieve the desired results.
Except when you try to beat jet-lag, it is advised to use the
Luminette at the same time every day.
D. When do I start to notice improvement ?
Some users start to feel the energising effect after the first use. Others feel it
after 1 or 2 weeks of daily use.
