Using the EnergyUp When to use the EnergyUp Knowing at what time to use the Philips EnergyUp is essential. It may mean the difference between feeling better in a few days instead of weeks and between experiencing benefits or experiencing none. Follow these guidelines to understand how light affects us and when to use the Philips EnergyUp for the best results. Duration Most people experience benefits if they use the appliance 20 to 30 minutes each day. It is safe to use the Philips EnergyUp longer, provided you do so at the correct time of day. You may notice some energising effects of light immediately. Other effects become noticeable after several days of regular use. You can also use the appliance as an extra source of light throughout the day (but not in the evening or at night) to compensate for the lack of natural daylight. Many people experience a natural dip in the afternoon. The Philips EnergyUp can help you counteract this dip. Preferably use it in the morning to help you start the day. You may also use it later during the day, but do not use it in the last few hours before bedtime. If you do, the light could delay your sleep and make you even less energetic the next day. Winter depression If your seasonal mood swings are more severe and you suffer from depression, consult a therapist and only use light therapy under supervision. Sleep patterns -- Morning persons usually wake up early in the morning and usually find it difficult to stay awake in the evening. If you want to get more out of your evening, avoid bright light directly after waking up and use the Philips EnergyUp in the evening close to bedtime. -- Evening persons find it difficult to get up in the morning and are full of energy in the evening. If this applies to you, you need morning light. Use the Philips EnergyUp within the first 1-2 hours after you get out of bed. Avoid bright light or blue-rich light in the last 4 hours before bedtime.

No, the Philips EnergyUp is absolutely safe, also when you use it throughout the day. However, avoid using the light in the last 4 hours before you go to bed, as the energising effect of the light may interfere with your sleep. [. . . ]
