Litebook Personal Light Therapy

The Litebook gives you personal light therapy when you need it.

Now you may be a little sceptical about this new therapy and unsure about exactly what it is and what it does. LinkShare_125x125ButtonV1

That's understandable, but think about this for a moment.. how many hours (each day) do you spend indoors?
14 hours?
20 hours?
24 hours?

Most people today are stuck in an office for 8 hours a day, then come home to the TV for another 3 or 4 hours before finally going to bed. This kind of routine leaves very little time for soaking up the sun and reaping the benefits of light exposure.

We were not made to be locked in the dark day after day. Mother Nature did not intend us to be so deprived of light. Our bodies don't function correctly without light exposure; that is simple scientific fact. Winter months (in the Northern hemisphere) tend to be the worst time for those suffering from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and many people are prone to bouts of depression at this time of the year (often without knowing why). About 30% of North Americans appear to suffer from SAD, a condition that also causes fatigue and weight gain. It gets worse: other symptoms often include great difficulty concentrating, cravings for carbohydrates, social withdrawal and insomnia.

Fatigue is a common and often serious problem for many people. Working mums have to endure long hours at work and long hours with the kids - a recipe for tiredness and stress! Maybe you've noticed:
- Headaches or stomach aches
- Reduced sense of humor
- Drowsiness

Without enough light, our bodies tend to suffer from something similar to jet lag. Also, our melatonin (the sleepy hormone) and serotonin (the feel-good hormone) levels appear to get out of whack. However, with the right kind of light, pointed at the eye at a 45-degree angle, it seems to recalibrate things.

But the situation is gradually changing. Light therapy researchers have made great strides over recent years and are beginning to get a clear picture about why we need to expose our bodies to light. More and more people are becoming aware of this need for light and it is no longer considered a fringe therapy.

Benefits of the Litebook include:

* Feeling more naturally energized
* Improve your mood
* Achieve more restful sleeping patterns
* Safely bring the sun indoors year round

Clinical trials have shown that the relatively short treatment time (approximately 30 minutes) and handiness of the device (due to its small size) probably increases patient appeal and is a favorite over other treatment options, including other light therapy devices and chemical antidepressants.

In other words, you get all the sun's benefits without the harmful UV rays. This is personal light therapy - any time you want it!
