- Evening persons find it difficult to get up in the morning and are full of energy in the evening. If this
applies to you, you need morning light. Use the Philips EnergyUp within the first 1-2 hours after you
get out of bed. Avoid bright light in the last 4 hours before bedtime. Daily use of the Philips
EnergyUp in the morning may help you establish a regular sleep pattern that allows you to function
better in the morning.
Note: If your desired wake-up time is less than six hours after your normal bedtime, do not use the
Philips EnergyUp immediately after you wake up. This could give your body a signal that is opposite
to the one intended.

Jet lag
Rapidly traveling across several time zones puts your internal body clock out of sync with the new
external time. This not only causes sleeping problems, but also influences your mood and energy
level. If you stay for more than a few days in the other time zone, you may want to shift your body
clock to the new time zone. This will help you sleep better and be more alert and energetic when you
need to. One of the best strategies to deal with jet lag is to start shifting your body clock and sleep
times several days before you leave.
Traveling east
When you travel east, you have to advance your sleep time by a number of hours that equals the time
zones you cross. You can shift your body clock forwards in steps of one hour a day. The number of
time zones you cross determines how many days before departure you have to start using the Philips
EnergyUp. Use the appliance for 30 minutes after you wake up. Avoid bright light in the evening and
go to bed early. When you arrive at your destination, avoid bright light during your normal sleep
period. Expose yourself to bright light at the end of this period to advance your body clock further to
the local time.
Before your return flight, use the Philips EnergyUp late in the evening for a couple of days. On the last
night of the trip, try to stay up and use the appliance as late as possible after midnight. On the day of
the flight, avoid any bright light in the morning.
