How does the SAD Daylight work?
In autumn and winter, the seasons with the least sunlight because of shorter days, the lack of sunlight and a
problem with certain brain chemicals stops the hypothalamus working properly. The lack of light is thought to
affect the production of the hormone melatonin (that makes you sleepy).
SAD Daylight uses very bright lights to simulate the sunlight during the darker autumn and winter months, whilst
eliminating the dangerous UV rays contained in sunlight. The additional light helps your brain to reduce
heo production of melatonin to help the symptoms of SAD or winter depression.
