Read this user manual carefully before using this Philips energy light. Intended use Philips EnergyUp Intense Blue is intended to make people feel more energetic, to adjust circadian rhythms and to provide relief from the winter blues. [. . . ] 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 tend to 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. Daily use of the Philips EnergyUp in the morning may help you establish a regular sleep pattern that allows you to function better in the morning. Note: If your desired wake-up time is less than six hours after your normal bedtime, do not use the Philips EnergyUp immediately after you wake up. This could give your body a signal that is opposite to the one intended.
