Lumie Zest SAD and wake-up light

 

SAD Light to Help You combat Seasonal Adjustment Disorder and Beat the Winter Blues

The Lumie Zest SAD and wake-up light can be used as a wake-up light for a naturally uplifting start to the day. The emulation of a gradual sunrise signals to your body, even as you sleep, that it is time to reduce the production of sleep hormones such as melatonin and increase cortisol production so your brain and body feel ready to rise and face the day without the awful grogginess you may normally feel, especially during the dark and dreary winter months.

SAD lights (also known as wake-up lights, light therapy, lightboxes and SAD lamps) help to keep your sleep cycle on track, boosting mood, energy and productivity levels all day.

You can use your Lumie Zest SAD and Wake-up Light for bright light therapy in the winter months or when you're stuck indoors. Extra bright light is proven to put you in a better mood and make you feel more awake. Use your SAD lamp every day to relieve the symptoms of SAD such as tiredness, over-eating, lack of motivation and feelings of depression.
