The upbeat feeling you get on a bright sunny day is no accident. This feeling is the result of light triggering our bodies to release "active" hormones and we feel great.
Winter can be a challenge for many because the shorter days and longer nights leave us simply "light-deprived". Without the normal light stimulation, we often feel down, lethargic and unhappy.
Light therapy provides a natural boost that helps you feel better, increases energy and even helps you sleep. Using the right wavelength of light, you can trigger your active hormones naturally, boosting your mood and overcoming those down feelings, whatever the season.
Researchers have learned that receptors in our eyes convert the blue light from the summer sky into the chemicals our bodies need to be active and energetic. We don't get this light in the winter, and indoor light doesn't replace this color, which is why our mood, energy and sleep patterns suffer.
The goLITE is the newest breakthrough in light therapy that provides just the blue light our bodies need (we call it BLUEWAVE technology). Studies have shown that low-intensity blue light (470 nm, like that from the goLITE) is twice as effective at managing our body clocks compared to other sources of light.
Using light therapy fits easily into your normal daily routine. You can do it while eating breakfast, exercising or getting ready in the morning.
And most people notice a big improvement with only 15 minutes a day.
Over the last several decades, dozens of research and clinical studies have shown the effects and potential benefits of light therapy for helping those with mood, sleep and energy problems. We have worked with the National Institutes of Health, NASA, the Mayo Clinic and others to develop the best light therapy products possible.
BLUEWAVE not only makes light therapy more convenient but also easier on the eyes because lower intensity means less glare, eyestrain and headaches. BLUEWAVE technology produces no UV or near-UV light, and passes ocular safety testing as well as all government and industrial ocular safety standards.
