I spend 8 hours a day camped at a computer indoors in a white-walled, cubicle room. I rarely walk around the inner-office building unless a fax needs to be sent or there is a meeting.
That's bad. No vitamin D. No natural light. No real cohesion with the coworkers. Nose to the grindstone type of work. Work can be intense as well as office human relations. Hmm... something needs to change. My persona is being drained as I'm an outdoor person. What can I do. How can this change.... So I browsed the internet for alternatives on light/healthy ways to do office work and came across the reviews of this blue light. The reviews were decent. Though I take the reviews with a grain of salt as I've seen outlandish ones. So I gave it a thought for a few days and gave a shot and bough it.
I plug it into my outlet at my sit-stand desk and turn the unit on so the light reaches both sides of my face equally. After a week of day after day use: Needless to say the results of using it one time a day at the same time for 30 minutes (following instructions as to the best time for your personal habits to use it) - I do an hour now at full intensity are:, WOW. If I though my sleep was good before, SLEEP and feeling WELL BALANCED are GREAT now. EEEK....
Seriously, I apparently am a person affected by lack of natural light . I ponder if I should go as far as it could have benefited my marriage ? Notice I used past tense. Hmm....
my mornings start at 4am. My bedtime is usually 9:30-10pm . The first couple of nights after I started using the blue light about 8:30 I got this "I GOTTA GET TO BED NOOOOOWWW" feeling that I could not avoid. It was like I was needing to be a dog circling the cushion until I was able to plop down to sleep and it was the BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD to feel this tired as I felt something good was about to evolve out of this feeling. Regardless....Sleep then was good.
I highly recommend this product as I hope it brings people mood balance, happiness, relationship rescue (?) Goodness knows how far reaching this can be for your life that as well radiates to others ... I am one HAPPY purchaser !

For those of you interested, I bought this four years ago and it still works like new, I actually loved it before the cat. I struggle with insomnia, especially in New England winters where the sun sets at 4pm. This has made a noticeable difference.
But philips is missing out on a marketing opportunity... seriously, CATS

Cats love it
By Erin on May 30, 2019
This has turned my roommate’s normally aloof cat into a purring snuggle machine. Seriously, he went from scratching at my face if I do much as looked in my direction to letting me squish his belly pouch (where he keeps his extra calories for the hard times that he’ll never have to face) while rumbling away.... squishy squish mc’soft squish...but only when the blue lite is out! I don’t even care why I bought this originally, it had created a miracle. My mornings used to be boring and placid, now they are furtastic bundles of cat love. I feel chosen by CAT.By Erin on May 30, 2019
