Now Available: Light Therapy Lamps!
The Library has purchased five Circadian Optics Luxy Light Therapy Lamps to circulate for one-week checkouts.
Light therapy can reset your body’s Circadian Rhythm, which helps you get a better night’s sleep and feel naturally awake and energized throughout the day.
Benefits of Bright Light Therapy
- Maintains a Healthy Sleep-Wake Cycle -- Light keeps your internal clock on a healthy 24-hour sleep-wake cycle, helping you feel more awake during the day and to fall asleep better at night.
- Improves Mood -- Using light to maintain a healthy circadian rhythm can have positive effects on your mood.
- Helps Concentration -- Daytime exposure to bright light can suppress melatonin levels, decrease sleepiness, increase alertness, and improve performance.
- Boosts Energy -- Bright light can improve alertness, fight fatigue, and reduce tiredness by stimulating the body's natural response to light.
