Page 5: Circadian Rhythms
Understanding Light, Health, and Circadian Rhythms The human body uses light cues, such as those provided by the sun, to time certain internal functions. Properly timed rhythms regulate mood, sleep, energy, appetite, and digestion. These daily internal cycles, called circadian rhythms, sometimes fall out of sync, resulting in an unregulated body clock. Modern Living Has Altered Our Circadian Rhythms Unfortunately, modern living has dramatically altered nature’s cues. - Page 6 An Imbalance in Circadian Rhythm Contributes to the Following: • Winter blues • Feelings of sadness • Jet lag • Lack of concentration • Loss of appetite Restored Balance with BLUEWAVE Technology Researchers have discovered that our circadian rhythms respond best to a specific bandwidth of blue light found in natural sunlight.

Page 12: Suggested Usage For Your Golite
When to Use Your goLITE Because an imbalance in circadian rhythm affects everybody differently, understanding how it affects you is critical to feeling better. Knowing what time to use the goLITE can mean the difference between responding in just a few days instead of weeks, and perhaps not responding at all. Follow these guidelines to understand how light affects your body clock and when to use the goLITE for the best results. - Page 13 Shift Work Use the following techniques to adjust your circadian rhythm to your work shift. Beginning a Night-Shift Schedule Many people benefit from receiving a 30-minute burst of light before work and then 15 minutes of light every three hours during work. This not only increases alertness and performance, but shifts the body clocks as well.
- Page 14 After the first day, you should use the goLITE each morning as needed for approximately 15–30 minutes. For more detailed information about using your goLITE to help adapt to shift work schedules, visit www.ApolloHealth.com.
