Increased intensity will not improve response and may result in increased side effects. -

Safe and Effective According to independent ocular safety testing, BLUEWAVE light is safe when following the recommended usage guidelines. BLUEWAVE technology in your goLITE BLU passes ICNRIP/ACGIH threshold value limits at only 15% (light energy exceeding 100% is considered potentially hazardous). The effectiveness of the type of light in BLUEWAVE has been researched and advocated by leading medical universities. - Page 8 Circadian Rhythm Imbalance When our circadian rhythm becomes imbalanced, the body produces the wrong hormones, chemicals, and neurotransmitters at the wrong time of the day. The results range from feelings of sadness to sleeplessness to lack of energy. Many people suffer from a loss of energy and mood that can last for a short period of time to more than a couple of weeks.

Page 15: Suggested Usage
When to Use Your goLITE BLU 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 BLU can mean the difference between responding in just a few days instead of weeks, or perhaps not responding at all. - Page 16 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 clock as well.
- Page 17 For more detailed information about using your goLITE BLU to help adapt to shift work schedules, visit www.LightTherapy.com. Jet Lag Rapidly traveling across several time zones creates disharmony between your internal body clock and the new external time. This not only causes problems with sleeping, but influences mood and energy as well.
