The goLITE BLU energy light is intended to make people feel more
energetic, to adjust circadian rhythms and to provide mood relief from
the winter blues. The medical intended use of the goLITE BLUE energy
light is to treat winter depression (seasonal affective disorder). This
treatment should always take place under supervision of a specialist.

The human body uses light cues, such as those provided by the sun, to
time certain internal functions. Properly timed rhythms regulate mood,
sleep, energy, appetite and digestion. These daily internal cycles, called
circadian rhythms, sometimes fall out of sync, resulting in a dysregulated
body clock.
Unfortunately, modern living has dramatically altered nature’s cues. A
modern day no longer starts at the crack of dawn and ends at 8:00 p.m.
Workdays are getting longer and many people face shift-work schedules.
Additionally, the advent of electric lighting allows social gatherings and
personal activities to extend well into the night. These factors have
diminished the body’s natural ability to regulate the body clock.
Rapid travelling across time zones is another source of disharmony
between the internal clock and the external time, which is referred to as
jet lag. Proper timing of bright light exposure allows quick adjustment to
the new time zone.
Besides regulating the body clock, light has direct alerting and energising
effects and improves our performance. Bright light therapy is also
successfully used for mood relief, especially for seasonal mood swings.
In countries with long winters, many people experience loss of energy
and low spirits due to lack of light. These symptoms are referred to as the
winter blues. They typically start in autumn and may last for several weeks.
Exposure to bright light sources can help alleviate these symptoms and
restore the summer mood and summer energy level.

Research shows that a special photo receptor in our eyes is responsible
for regulating our energy and sleep/wake cycles. This receptor responds
to the blue light of the summer sky. We do not get as much of this light in
the autumn and winter, and indoor light does not emit enough of this
essential colour. The goLITE BLU energy light helps to shift circadian
rhythms back to their normal pattern by delivering the wavelength, colour
and intensity of light that our body responds most efciently to. The
goLITE BLU energy light naturally improves your mood and energy levels
by a relatively low light intensity compared to traditional white light
therapy devices.

Knowing what time to use the goLITE BLU energy light can mean the
difference between feeling better in just a few days instead of weeks, or
perhaps not responding at all. Follow these guidelines to understand how
light affects your body clock and when to use the goLITE BLU energy
light for the best results.

Using the goLITE BLU energy light at any time of day directly affects your
alertness. You can use the goLITE BLU energy light as light therapy for the
winter blues throughout the day. The best time to use it is in the morning.
Do not use the goLITE BLU energy light late in the evening. If you use it
within 2 hours of going to bed, it could disrupt your sleep.

- If you nd it difcult to get up each day without an alarm clock or if
you often sleep in, you need morning light. Use the goLITE BLU
energy light within the rst hour or two after waking up.
- If you nd it difcult to stay awake in the late evening and wake up
too early in the morning, you need evening light. Use the goLITE BLU
energy light before you start to feel drowsy.
- If mornings or evenings do not seem to be the problem, but you feel
generally tired during the day, then the time at which you use the
goLITE BLU energy light is not as important. You can use the goLITE
BLU energy light in the morning or around midday. For example,
when you wake up in the morning, use it for fteen to thirty minutes
and then again at midday or in the evening for approximately the
same amount of time. Place the goLITE BLU energy light further away
from you during the evening treatment. This keeps your body clock
from confusing the stronger morning signal with evening time. Do not
use the goLITE BLU energy light within two hours of your desired
bedtime. Blue light can suppress the nighttime hormones for a while,
and you may not be able to fall asleep.

If your seasonal mood swings are more severe and you are suffering from
depression, you should consult a therapist and only use light therapy
under supervision. Your therapist may prescribe 45 minutes of treatment
per day at level 1 or 2 over several weeks. The timing of light exposure
can be determined as described above, but should be aligned with your
therapist.

Rapidly travelling across several time zones creates disharmony between
your internal body clock and the new external time. This not only causes
sleeping problems, but inuences your mood and energy level as well. If
you stay for more than a few days, you may also want to shift your body
clock to the new time zone. This will help you sleep better and be more
alert and energetic when you need to. Because special blue light is
effective for shifting circadian rhythms, your goLITE BLU energy light can
quickly adjust your rhythm to the new time zone. One of the best
12
4222.002.7541.3.indd 12 03-05-10 16:55

strategies to combat jet lag is to shift your body clock a day or two
before you leave.
Travelling east: When you travel east , start using the goLITE BLU energy
light in the morning two to three days before you leave. The number of
time zones you travel corresponds to the hours your body clock has
to shift. If you are only travelling a few time zones, one day’s preparation is
sufcient. Add a day of light therapy for each additional 2 time zones. For
example, for a trip from the US to Europe, use the following schedule:
On the rst day, wake up an hour early and use the goLITE BLU energy
light for 30–45 minutes. On the next day or days, you should wake up a
couple of hours earlier and repeat this process. You should advance your
bedtime accordingly. Once you arrive at your destination, avoid light
before 10 a.m. local time (wear sunglasses) and use the goLITE BLU
energy light in the midmorning to fully adjust to the local time. When
returning, use your goLITE BLU energy light in the late evening for a
couple of nights before the return ight. On the last night of the trip, try
to stay up and use your goLITE BLU energy light as late as reasonably
possible past midnight. On the day of the ight, avoid any bright light until
after 2:00 p.m. (see below under ‘Travelling west’)
Travelling west: Since most people’s body clocks adjust more easily to
later time zones, you should not have to use the goLITE BLU energy light
when you travel 3 time zones or less. You should only need to use your
goLITE BLU energy light for one day before travelling 4 time zones, and
add an additional preparation day for each 3 time zones. You should not
have to use the goLITE BLU energy light for more than 3 days, even on
the longer westbound trips. For example, when travelling from London to
Los Angeles, use your goLITE BLU energy light for 30–40 minutes in the
late evening (and again a couple of hours later, if you can) each night,
starting 2-3 days before you leave. Use the goLITE BLU energy light 2-3
hours later each successive night. When you arrive at your destination, try
to stay awake until bedtime and avoid bright evening light (wear
sunglasses) for the rst few days. Before you travel home, avoid any bright
afternoon and evening light and use your goLITE BLU energy light in the
morning for a few days (see above under ‘Travelling east’).

Note: You can also use the appliance while it is charging.
The goLITE BLU energy light comes with a 9.5V AC/DC adapter
that operates on voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts to allow
worldwide use. The adapter comes with a set of exchangeable adapter
plugs that t most common worldwide wall sockets.
1 Put the adapter in the wall socket.
2 Insert the appliance plug into socket on the appliance (Fig. 4).
,Only the outline of the charge indication is visible.
, As the battery charges, the four bars of the charge indication ash
one by one and ll as the charge increases.
,When the battery is fully charged, the charge indication stops
ashing.
Note: Charge the goLITE BLU energy light at least 8 hours before you use it
for the rst time. Charging normally takes 3 to 4 hours.
Note: When the battery is fully charged, it contains enough energy for 3 to 5
treatments.
