Why use a daylight therapy lamp?
When the hours of daylight are noticeably decreased in autumn and people increasingly
stay inside, the effects of a lack of light may cumulate. This is often described as winter
depression. The symptoms can present themselves in a number of ways:
• Imbalance • Need for more sleep
• Subdued mood • Loss of appetite
• Lack of energy and listlessness • Difficulty concentrating
• Generally feeling under the weather
The cause of these symptoms is the fact that light, particularly sunlight, is essential for life
and has a direct effect on the human body. Sunlight indirectly controls the production of
melatonin, which is released into the blood only in darkness. This hormone tells the body
when it is time to sleep. In the months when there is less sunlight, therefore, production of
melatonin increases. This makes it harder to get up in the morning, since
the body„s
functions are shut down. If you use the daylight therapy lamp immediately after waking up
in the morning
—as early as possible—you can end up the production of melatonin so that
your mood can take a positive turn. In addition, light deficiency also hinders production of
the happiness hormone serotonin, which decisively affects our well-being. So application
of light involves quantitative changes in hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain,
which can affect our level of activities, our feelings and our well-beings. Light can help
reverse this hormone imbalance. To compensate for such a hormonal imbalance, the
daylight therapy lamp can create a suitable replacement for natural sunlight.
In the medical field, daylight therapy lamps are used to compensate for the effects of a
lack of light. Daylight therapy lamps simulate daylight over 10,000 lux. The light can
influence the human body and be used as a treatment or as a preventative measure.
Normal electric light is not sufficient to influence the hormonal balance. Because in a
well-lit office the illuminance level amounts to just 500 lux.
