What is light therapy?

For depression, sleep disorders, jet lag and many other problems, try light therapy! It mimics sunlight, but without the harmful effects of UV light. Light therapy allows you to release more serotonin, which helps you feel better. Like sun exposure, light therapy is best done in the morning for the most benefit. The face needs to be close enough to the light, which is why desktop light therapy lamps often come in handy.
 

All the benefits at home with a light therapy lamp

Not for nothing is it said to be as effective as antidepressants. If you buy a light therapy lamp, you may notice the effects after only one or two weeks. And if you read reviews of light therapy lamps, you will see that some people notice effects after a few days. Of course, it depends on the disorder, but the purchase of a light therapy lamp usually pays off quickly! More energy, better mood, better sleep are common effects.

How to use your light therapy lamp

The duration of a session depends on the intensity of the light therapy device. It also depends on the distance between you and the device. The lower the intensity, the longer the session lasts. Today, we recommend an exposure of 30 minutes per day with a light therapy lamp of 10,000 lux intensity. You can use your computer during this time or do something else. You just need to keep your eyes open, as light therapy only has an effect on the brain if the light reaches the retina.
 

Which light therapy lamp to buy?

Choosing a light therapy lamp can be difficult, as there are many different types and prices. But to start with, you simply have to decide between a small light therapy lamp for the office or a larger lamp, 40 to 50 cm high. Then choose the power. It can vary from a few hundred lux to 10,000 lux. Prefer a desktop light therapy lamp if you opt for a low wattage, as sessions of 1 to 2 hours are required. Also consider whether several people should be able to use the lamp at the same time.
