A happy light, also known as a light therapy lamp, is used by turning it on and adjusting the brightness, typically with the same button used for power.
Here's a breakdown of how to use a typical Happy Light:
-
Power On/Off: The primary button usually controls the power. Press it once to turn the light on, and again to turn it off.
-
Brightness Adjustment: The same button used for power might also control the brightness intensity. Subsequent presses of the power button after turning the light on may cycle through different brightness levels.
Important Considerations:
-
Consult the User Manual: Always refer to the specific user manual that came with your Happy Light for detailed instructions and safety information. Models can vary.
-
Positioning: Place the light at a comfortable distance (usually around 12-24 inches) from your face. The light should be angled slightly downwards towards your eyes, but never stare directly into the light.
-
Timing: Use the Happy Light in the morning for about 20-30 minutes to help regulate your circadian rhythm. Avoid using it in the evening, as it can interfere with sleep.
-
Consult a Healthcare Professional: If you have any underlying medical conditions, particularly those related to your eyes or mood, consult with a doctor before using a Happy Light.
