How Do You Use A Full Spectrum Light For SADD?

0

Since the early 1980s, full-spectrum lights have been used to treat people with seasonal affective disorder and depression (SADD). If you are suffering from symptoms of these disorders, spending some time each day in front of a “SADD light” can be an effective treatment. This treatment requires investment in a light and some time every day, along with some experimentation with timing and duration of use for maximum effects, but it can dramatically change your mood in just a few days. Place the full-spectrum light on a desk or table, and sit close by, oriented toward the light. Your eyes should be opened, but not directed toward the light, instead focus on things illuminated by the light, such as a book, notebook, laptop or meal. Determine the amount of time you will spend in front of the full-spectrum light, depending on its strength. An average light will be about 10,000 lux. A weaker light will require more time while a stronger light will require less. A half hour a day is an effect
