Winter depression
If your seasonal mood swings are more severe and you suffer from
depression, consult a therapist and only use light therapy under
supervision. Your therapist may prescribe 30 minutes of treatment
per day at level 1 or 2 over several weeks.
Sleep patterns
- Morning persons tend to wake up early in the morning and usually
find it difficult to stay awake in the evening. If you want to get
more out of your evening, avoid bright light directly after waking
up and use the Philips EnergyUp in the evening.
- 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.
