Intended Use:
Medical intended use of this appliance is to treat the symptoms of SAD (seasonal affective disorder) or winter depression.
“SAD Light” is intended to boost people’s energy levels, to adjust circadian rhythms and make people feel more awake.
“SAD Light” is safe and medically proven to provide relief from the symptoms of SAD.
How does the “SAD Light” work?
In autumn and winter, the seasons with the least sunlight because of shorter days, the lack of sunlight and a problem with
certain brain chemicals stops the hypothalamus working properly. The lack of light is thought to affect the production of
the hormone melatonin (that makes you sleepy).
“SAD Light” uses bright lights to simulate the sunlight during the darker autumn and winter, whilst eliminating the danger-
ous UV rays contained in sunlight. The additional light helps adjust the levels of melatonin that can help the symptoms of
SAD.
Seasonal Affective Disorder:
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) as known as winter depression or winter blues.
It may cause people:
- Feel low, listless and fatigued - Need for more sleep
- Have trouble concentrating - Less active than normal
