Duration
Most people experience benefits if they use the appliance 20 to 30 minutes
each day. It is safe to use the Philips EnergyUp longer, provided you do
so at the correct time of day. You may notice some energising effects
of light immediately. Other effects become noticeable after several days
of regular use.
Indoor life and energy dips
If you spend a lot of time indoors with little daylight and artificial light,
you can experience the energising effects of the Philips EnergyUp very
quickly after you switch it on.
Many people experience a natural dip in the afternoon. The Philips EnergyUp
can help you counteract this dip.
Winter blues
If you experience lower energy levels, an increased need for sleep, and a
lower mood in the dark season compared to spring and summer, use the
energy light for 20-30 minutes a day. Preferably use it in the morning to help
you start the day. You may also use it later during the day, but do not use it in
the last few hours before bedtime. If you do, the light could delay your sleep
and make you even less energetic the next day.
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 or blue-rich 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.
