Light therapy device
Throughout the darkest months of the year — during autumn and winter — many people compain repeatedly of lack of energy and poor performance, even though they may not yet, in the conventional sence, manifest sighns of illness.
Symptoms which recur every winter, year after year:
- You have a feeling of lethargy and tiredness, despite sleeping longer.
- You seldom awake refreshed.
- You feel weak and exhausted, productivity drops and you may experience depression.
- You have a yearning for carbohydrates (accompanied by weight gain).
- Your spirits are subdued and you feel sad.
For many people these symptoms can be so severe that they suffer from an illness. This is known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or "Winter Depression".
In cases of SAD light therapy can be used preventatively: it canprevent symptomsfrom appearing, it can reduce their severity and it can restore normal levels of energy and productivity.
