How Do Daylight Therapy or SAD Light Boxes Work?
By emitting replica sunlight, daylight therapy lamps give you the same boost as the natural sunlight we all love to enjoy in the summer months, without any of the harmful UV rays or skin damage. The boost from SAD lights helps to increase serotonin levels in the brain, and melatonin in the pineal gland. Serotonin, also known as the 'happiness hormone' helps to boost mood and banish anxiety. Melatonin is responsible for regulating our circadian rhythms and regulating sleep patterns.
This SAD lamp will help regulate those happy hormones, and regulate the your circadian rhythms, reducing anxiety, helping you to focus and feel more relaxed and happy.
