Light - a natural energizer
Today's busy modern lifestyles demand peak performance all day long.
Even the fittest person suffers energy dips, particularly when deprived of
natural daylight, such as in an office in winter. Daylight is essential to
well-being, keeping fit, and feeling energized throughout the day – just like
healthy nutrition and regular exercise. Philips goLITE BLU mimics the
natural energizing power of daylight on a bright sunny day. It stimulates
special receptors in the eye to trigger the body's natural response to
sunlight. This helps you to fight energy dips, to feel more energetic, active
and alert, and to improve your mood.
Sleep patterns
The human body uses light cues, such as those provided by the sun, to
time certain internal functions. Properly timed rhythms regulate energy,
mood, sleep, appetite and digestion. Nature's cues no longer govern our
modern lifestyle. Our day no longer starts at sunrise and ends at sunset,
and working days are getting longer. Moreover, our activities often extend
well into the night. Many people tend to get too little sleep during the
week, which diminishes their energy levels during the day. Using goLITE
BLU at the right time of day can help you establish and reinforce regular
sleep patterns.
