Bright light therapy mimics outdoor light and has been proven effective in reducing symptoms of SAD.

Tips for using the lightbox:

More beneficial if used early in the morning
Project the lights towards yourself from the side
Do not look directly into the light for prolonged periods
Position yourself 40 to 80cm away from the light
The duration of the therapy should be about 20 minutes
Ask your healthcare provider at the Student Wellness Centre if you have questions about whether the lightbox could be helpful to you
Please be mindful if you wish to use the bright light therapy that you do not exceed 20 minutes to ensure others have the same opportunity.
