Daylight Lamps
Daylight lamps, or full spectrum daylight lighting, are also a great way of combating the negative feelings caused by seasonal affective disorder. But even if you don't suffer from S.A.D. at all, these bulbs and tubes can help liven up any environment. They are particularly popular in offices and amongst those involved in photography and painting. It works just like how photo's shot outdoors in direct sunlight always come out much more lively. That same result of vibrant and stimulating colours can be achieved by replacing those dull yellow-ish conventional bulbs with full spectrum lighting.
Dawn Simulating Bodyclocks
Sunrise alarm clocks help start the day in a refreshing manner. If you hate being rudely awoken every day by that horrible sound of your alarm, try one of these. They mimic sunrise with a bright light which comes on gradually over the course of a minimum of 15 minutes. The light has a stimulating effect on the body and even whilst you are still asleep, you are in fact slowly waking up because of the chemicals that react to light. It's hard to describe so all we can say is... Try it for yourself! |
