How do I use EVY LIGHT®?
EVY LIGHT®, or OptoCeutics Masked 40 Hz Light, is quite simple to use.
➤ Sit down, turn on the light and look at it or near it for 1 hour (it can also be used for 15 minutes four times a day or 30 minutes two times a day; it will be difficult to overuse the device, as there are limited side effects).
➤ The light is most effective when used for a minimum of 60 minutes a day (preferably in the first half of the day, and at least 4 hours before going to bed).
Please refer to our User Manual for more details.
Why do you recommend to use EVY LIGHT® in the first half of the day?
Exposure to bright light at the wrong times alters the body’s internal clock, or circadian rhythm, and can make your brain stay up later than you intend.
That’s why, for example, it is ideal to avoid using a mobile phone or laptop before bedtime.
A good sleep-and-wake cycle is extremely important for many functions in our everyday life. We recommend that you use EVY LIGHT® through the first half of the day, if possible.
How do I make myself comfortable while using EVY LIGHT®?
