Most people get beneficial results from 15 to 45 minutes of usage each
day. You can start using the goLITE BLU at 50% intensity and increase
the light intensity if you feel no response after a week.
Timing
Using the goLITE BLU energy light at any time of day directly affects your
alertness. You can use the goLITE BLU energy light as a light bath for the
winter blues throughout the day. The best time to use it is in the morning.
Do not use the goLITE BLU late in the evening. If you use it within 2
hours of going to bed, it could disrupt your sleep.
- If you find it difficult to get up each day without an alarm clock or if
you often sleep in, you need morning light. Use the goLITE BLU
within the first hour or two after waking up.
- If you find it difficult to stay awake in the late evening and wake up
too early in the morning, you need evening light. Use the goLITE BLU
before you start to feel drowsy.
