may be necessary, such as re-orientation of the radio frequency communication equipment or the

Using the appliance

When to use
Knowing at what time to use the Philips EnergyUp is essential. It may mean the difference between
feeling better in a few days instead of weeks and between experiencing benefits or experiencing
none. Follow these guidelines to understand how light affects us and when to use the Philips
EnergyUp for the best results.
Duration
Most people experience benefits if they use the appliance 20 to 30 minutes each day. It is safe to use
the Philips EnergyUp longer, provided you do so at the correct time of day. You may notice some
energizing effects of light immediately. Other effects become noticeable after several days of regular
use.
Indoor life and energy dips
If you spend a lot of time indoors with little daylight and artificial light, you can experience the
energizing effects of the Philips EnergyUp very quickly after you switch it on.
Many people experience a natural dip in the afternoon. The Philips EnergyUp can help you
counteract this dip.
Winter blues
If you experience lower energy levels, an increased need for sleep, and a lower mood in the dark
season compared to spring and summer, use the energy light for 20-30 minutes a day. 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. Your therapist may prescribe 30 minutes of treatment
per day at level 1 or 2 over several weeks.
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.
