SLEEPY TEENS
• Teens’ circadian rhythms shift from a morning preference to an evening preference around
the time of puberty. Their
internal clocks are ‘out of sync’
with their early morning school
schedules. Research indicates that students become alert and eager to focus around noon.
• Typical usage for bright light exposure is
15-30 minutes each morning
, as early as
possible upon awakening.
• The Litebook Elite should be
used on a daily basis during weekdays
for optimum benefit
– weekend days may be excluded without significant negative effect.
• Usage should be part of the teen’s
normal morning routine
e.g. while
eating breakfast,
checking email, completing homework, applying makeup
, etc.
• The rechargeable battery-powered Litebook Elite may even be used while
commuting to
school
(as passenger; never while driving).
• Daily exposure to bright light in the morning will
improve alertness and mood during
the day.
•
An added benefit is the teen’s
sleep pattern will adjust earlier
in the evening, enabling the
teen to
get to sleep at an appropriate hour
on school nights.
