light, your Day-Light can be used for much more than

Assembling the Day-Light
1. Attach the Weighted Lamp Base (1a - 1e) to the
Adjustable Height Arm using the screw and
screwdriver.

skid surface that will not damage the lens.

The Winter Blues
Timing and Duration of Session
For best results use your Day-Light soon after
waking, preferably before 9 a.m. Begin with a 30
minute session and read, eat breakfast, etc. during
therapy.
Benets usually take a few days to appear. Since
each persons response varies, 30 minutes may not
produce the desired level of therapeutic response
or may cause unwanted side eects. Studies have
shown that up to 85% of those who try bright light
therapy have a clinical response.
Based on your response, tailor the session time, up
or down, in ve minute increments to nd the
optimal session length. We recommend that your
don’t use therapy mode for more than 60 minutes
per session.
You may also add a short session (15-20 min.) later
in the day, if experiencing a slump in energy.
However, using the Day-Light for therapy after 8
p.m. is not recommended as it may delay your
onset of sleep.
Adjusting to Light Intensity
Some users prefer to adjust to the brightness
before therapy sessions. Turn the lamp on just
before sitting in front of the lamp, so your eyes can
adjust to the bright light.
Daily Use
If you miss a session(s) or discontinue use of the
Day-Light, your body may return to its usual
wintertime doldrums. Benets should reappear a
few days after resuming use.
Increasing evidence demonstrates that using bright
light therapy lamps may also help alleviate jet lag,
shift work adjustment, improve sleeping patterns
and ease low energy.
Waking Up to the Day-Light
You can also wake up to the Day-Light by using a
properly rated lighting timer.
Symptoms of Overuse
There are rarely negative side eects of using light
therapy, but it is possible to overuse the Day-Light.
If you experience increased irritability, excessive
energy, and/or any discomfort during or after use,
decrease the session length or move the light
further away from you.
