Fight the Blues

with the Feel Bright Light!

Are you:

•  the 1 in 4 who gets the Winter Blues?  
•  the 1 in 25 who gets clinical seasonal affective disorder - SAD?
•  the 1 in 10 with non-seasonal depression?

Do you:

• lack energy, suffer from poor concentration?
• gain weight and crave carbs?
• sleep too much - feel like you want to hibernate?
• lose interest in life and withdraw socially?
• suffer most during the short days of winter?
• want to do something about it?  Consider:

Bright light therapy - phototherapy:

• the shining of bright light into your eyes for 15-30 minutes/day
• quickly decreases brain melatonin - causing wakefulness, and
• increases brain seratonin - causing mood elevation
• is very effective for Winter Blues treatment, seasonal affective disorder - SAD, and other depressions
• has been first-line treatment for over 20 years
• helps you feel better without drugs
• few, if any, side effects - (too much light may be like too much caffeine)
• is very cost-effective - far less expensive than medication, even less expensive than coffee

The Feel Bright Light:

• allows you to easily get your 15-30 minutes of bright light therapy each day
• provides 8-12,000 lux of blue-green light - the effective dose of the most effective and safest color
• in the most convenient way - it's portable
• simply mount the Feel Bright Light on your hat visor

Fight Fatigue

with the Feel Bright Light!

Use bright light therapy with your Feel Bright Light to shift your body clock - circadian rhythm - to relieve:

• jet lag - move your body's clock to your new time zone
• shift work fatigue - adjust your body's clock to the awake/sleep schedule you need
• sleep phase insomnia - shift your body's circadian rhythm so you are awake during the day and asleep at night

Temporary wakefulness:

• for on-the-job or on-the-road alertness - within a half-hour of bright light therapy, most folks are wide awake for 3-6 hours
• before the big exam - be awake to study, and alert for the exam
• when being alert is mission-critical - for military or civilian jobs where being alert saves lives - Air traffic controllers and weapons systems controllers performed a multi-tasking test 70% better if they used bright light therapy at the start of their shifts
• Bright light therapy with the Feel Bright Light is better and cheaper than coffee - like caffeine without the jitters or pit-stops
