You shouldn't stare directly at the light but it must reach your eyes
to have any effect. Position Zip at arm's length (about 50cm) and use
the stand to angle the light towards your face. You can use Zip
whilst you're on the computer, when you're watching TV, at
mealtimes, etc. Dark glasses, tinted lenses or falling asleep will all
limit the effects of light therapy.
You should notice positive benefits after using Zip for 3 or 4 days in
a row.

When should I use it?

It's best to tackle SAD or the winter blues as soon as possible. Look
out for early signs - often in September or October - and if you start
to feel lethargic, anxious or irritable, start using your Zip. If you learn
to use the light early on then you should never dread the winter
months again.
Most people can skip a day here and there, especially when the
weather is bright. As spring comes around you can probably start to
cut back your light therapy; your body will soon tell you if it's too
soon and if you notice your symptoms returning simply use your
Zip again for a few days.
