Light Therapy – Clock Light helping our “Body Clock”:
When we start to look at Light Therapy, we also understand the Principe of “Body Clock”. Every Human have sort of Body Clock internal that can affect our Daily Habits has Sleeping patern or Meal Moment when we are hungry.
A Clock Light or “Reveil Aube Lumineux” is sort of Alarm Clock but whereas “Ringing” in the morning to wake up “The Light will Turn on Very Slowly during few minutes“.
This New Technology (That finally emulating Sun Light) is bringing very good aspect :
The first aspect is : Clock light help to reduce Stress.
The Morning is Very a Crucial Moment for the Day.
By waking up very slowly, it rewarm ourself, increasing Vitamin D naturally in the moment of the day our Body need the most.
The scientist explanation is first related to our Evolution our natural Body clock define following Sun and Lunch Time. You will be surprised to see that using a “Clock Light” help a lot to reduce your stress already.
As previously mention with the expression SAD light is something : “Helping us to wake up on the right foot” , “Nous aider a nous lever du bon pied“.
The second aspect is : A Clock Light Help to readjust our Body Clock.
Sometimes we might have Bad Night, or Cause of Circumstance, we have to arrange our schedule to go out on Week end… and this change our Natural Body Clock affecting our Sleep Pattern. Generally for one day or two it’s ok. Cause we can rest latter on. By the way by talking about sleep pattern. Do you know that (Sleep Recovering) is a (Wrong Expression) when you do not sleep correctly, you can rest and recover tiredness but Sleep is not able to be recovered. (“Sleep Recovery” is not possible “Rest Recovery” is possible the difference is very little but it is important to be aware about it.)
Having Good Sleep Pattern, permit Better Sleep and Rest. We say sometimes also going to sleep before midnight help to multiply Hours of Sleep by two. The first hours of sleep before midnight are very important.
The Light as David Servan Schreiber mention in his book is Emulating the Sun Light. With Clock Light you will probably notice better ability to wake up. Optional Radio can be Turn on in Some Model if the Sun Light is not helping you to wake up as any random Alarm Clock.
Clock Lights are quite expensive but something that might help you is to realise you are not buying Clock Light Every Year it’s generally something you are keeping for long as 10 years or so (You have also possibility to find Better Price on other Brand depending websites)

The only Side effect that is mention Regarding Light Therapy is apparently exposing ourself to SAD Light might Reduce (A little) the Skin Light Absorption from our Skin. But it’s the only the side effect explain and seems only a little side effect.
Something to remember is SAD Light, Clock Light, Vitamin D Supplement, can help us regarding Light Therapy. But remember in any case it will never replace completely Sun Exposure, going outside walking feeling the fresh Air and Oxygen will be allways missing in some way. Light Therapy is Complementary not replacing to go outside basically.
SAD Light and Light Therapy are quite popular in Northern Countries part of the world at the North Pole cause the Sun is missing enlightenment during 6 months of the year.
By the way Scandinavian and Northern European countries are also known to Measure Happiness as “PIB”. Helping to mesure and find a way to improve happiness for the population.
Something good to know also Regarding Sun Light Exposure is we might think going in Southern Country is much more advantageous cause of Enlightenment of the Southern country. Of course Enlightenment will be better but in Southern Countries population have also Vitamin D deficiency.
Southern Country sometimes do not have necessarily population with better VitaminD level cause of Temperatur affecting ability people to live outside. So finally regarding VitaminD it’s practically the same as Nothern Countries in the End.
Something also important to know is “Sad Light“, “Light Therapy” are different from “UV Light” exposure. U.V light use UV and is too strong in term of exposition because can increase Risk of Skin Cancer.
UV Light Exposure for the Body can be seen as Sun Capital Exposure. During our life we have sort of Sun Capital and more we expose ourself more this Sun Capital get reduce. it’s Because the Skin get Damaged with Time Slowly.
In any case do not forget to do 30 Minutes of walk Every Day. And do not forget to where Sun Glasses or Sun Cream in Summer if you are exposing yourself.
The Monty Python were saying in their movie’s to keep “Looking to the Bright Side of Life“. That’s quite funny Idiom. Because it’s exactly that, Light therapy is helping a lot in this direction. You will see only Positive change there is no Side Negative effect. Do not hesitate to discuss about it with your Doctor.
And Remember try to avoid “UV Light” but Keep “Sad Light” it will help you to stay positive, reducing Stress and Anxiety
