Treatment Time 60 Minutes
The Rio Sad Lamp is a compact
unit, standing at only 19cm tall, it can be easily placed in a bedroom or a
living room, on a desk beside a PC at home or even on a desk at work. It
produces a full spectrum of natural light with low energy usage. Typically,
15-60 minutes of exposure a day is sufficient for most people, however the lamp
can be used as often as required. The lamp can be used at any time during the
day (to link to the natural biological clock, it is best to use between 6am and
8pm), although research has shown that morning use is the most beneficial time.
Users will recognise when sufficient light treatment is achieved - most often
by a feeling of heightened alertness, energy and mood.

The Benefits of Sunlight Indoors
The Rio SAD LIGHT has been developed to help Seasonal Affective Disorder
(S.A.D.), a condition which can affect all ages, men and women alike.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) is a condition that can affect men or
women of any age. Symptoms vary, and are often referred to as the “winter
blues”, the lack of natural light at any time of the year may cause S.A.D.

How you use SAD LIGHT
Simply position the Rio SAD LIGHT about 50cm away from you directing the
light towards your face, but slightly offset. Adjust the timer and brightness
to suit you then begin. (It is ok to look into the light every now and then,
but do not look into the light continuously).
Typically 15-60 minutes
of exposure a day is sufficient for most people, however, you may use your
light as often as you want.
TOP TIP: Try to
co-ordinate usage with your natural biological clock, namely between 6am and
8pm. You can obviously use the Rio SAD LIGHT at other times of the day but
research has shown that morning use is most beneficial.
Use the Rio® SAD
LIGHTTM on at least five successive days at roughly the same time, you can
then repeat the programme as often as you feel you need to.

Light levels determine the sleep / wake cycles of both
animals and humans. The desire to sleep is brought on by the secretion of
Melatonin, and the bright natural light or the light from a SAD lamp significantly
reduces Melatonin, greatly improving our energy levels. Typical symptoms of SAD
are depression, lethargy, anxiety, craving, social problems, sleep problems and
loss of libido. These symptoms can be commonly resolved through the use of The Lucia Mega Light Therapy SAD light box.
