The HappyLight 6000 Full Spectrum Light Therapy System by Verilux.

If you struggle with low energy and depression during the colder, darker months of the year - you are not alone. Nearly 20% of the population suffers from Seasonal Affective Disorder, with significant occurrence in Northern regions where the seasonal change is drastic, and the amount of natural light is decreased. As our bodies receive less light than they require, some of us experience adverse affects in the forms of depression and limited motivation. This change can negatively impact the way many of us function in our day to lives, but there is a safe, simple treatment that anyone can benefit from in as little as 2.5 hours a day.

Delivering up to 6000 lux of full spectrum light, the HappyLight 6000 helps ease depression, while activating your bodies natural mood enhancers. Treatment allows your body to balance its natural serotonin and melatonin levels as well, all while regulating your circadian rhythms. The HappyLight 6000 promotes healthy sleep function for easier mornings - allowing you to take charge of your life, all year long.

Step into the Full Spectrum Light

The HappyLight 6000 by Verilux operates like a regular table lamp. SImply plug it in, turn it on and in as little as 2.5 hours per day, you can combat Seasonal Affective Disorder with 600 lux of full spectrum light. SAD therapy is ideal, because you can engage in it while you perform enjoyable tasks, such as knitting, reading, computing, crafting and even while you complete desk work. You should be positioned approximately 18 inches from the unit at a slight angle, and before long, you will begin to notice improved energy, health and mood - naturally, without the use of drugs or artificial stimulants.

How Much Light is Enough?

Because everyone is different, we all require different levels of light treatment. The recommended daily exposure time is 2.5 hours with the HappyLight 6000 to help your body to regulate itself, while triggering a reversal of SAD symptoms. If 2.5 hours sounds like a long time, don't be concerned, because you can also split the dosage up into several shorter treatments throughout the day, to make it easier. The only catch is, you want to be sure to engage in your light therapy treatment at roughly the same time each day, this will assist your body in maintaining balanced serotonin and melatonin levels, while allowing it to regulate your natural circadian rhythm. These guidelines will ensure you get the best results from your HappyLight 6000.

The ideal time of day to use the Verilux Happylight 6000 is in the morning, 30-60 minutes after you wake. Alternatively, you should avoid using light therapy near bedtime, as the bright full spectrum stimulates the body, throwing off healthy sleep patterns.

Within a few days of exposure to your Verilux HappyLight 6000 Full Spectrum Light Therapy System, you will begin to notice positive changes to your mood and energy levels. Be sure to maintain a set schedule for your daily treatment, as this will ensure maximized results. Continued exposure to full spectrum light will help build your bodies tolerance to the darker months of the year, and once you feel a noticeable improvement to your mood and energy, you can reduce or discontinue use.

How Your Body Reacts to Light Therapy

Our bodies require light to function properly, but as the sun recedes during the fall and winter… the light we need becomes less available. By replacing that absent sunlight with a simulated full spectrum source, your bodies natural mood enhancers are boosted, promoting sharper concentration and a happy outlook on life. Without this light, many people can spiral into a depressed, listless state. Light therapy replaces the sunlight with an alternative allowing the body to absorb what it needs to nourish the soul.

Verilux is a leader in full spectrum lighting technology and the HappyLight 6000's Natural Spectrum® light balances serotonin and melatonin, while regulating circadian rhythms. This drastically combats the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder, letting you take your life back.
