The Verilux Happy Lite Deluxe Sunshine Simulator gives you a boost of sunlight any time of the year. This is great news for people suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder and other problems that result in the circadian system becoming imbalanced.

Seasonal Affective Disorder, (SAD), jet lag, and shift work are common reasons for depression, lethargy, loss of concentration, and even sexual dysfunction. Sufferers of SAD experience these symptoms, and many more, during the darker months of the year.

From September to April the nights are longer than the days which can cause a person’s body systems to become out of balance. Studies show that natural sunlight is needed to help the brain produce the hormones and chemicals that keep the body functioning. In some people the lack of sun puts the body in downward spiral which results in a depressed mood, muscle and joint aches, anxiety, and more.

Simulating Sunshine

The Verilux Happy Lite Deluxe Sunshine Simulator is an easy to use, convenient treatment option for SAD. The unit produces 10,000 Lux which mimics a bright summer day. And, the face of the light is glare free.

The first step to using the Verilux Happy Lite is to turn it on. Let the unit warm up and the light reach full intensity which takes a few minutes. Once full intensity has been reached you have the option of sitting in front of the unit.

The Verilux Happy Lite has a wide 12 inch area that gives off light. This means that you do not have to sit directly in front of the light when using it each day. Many people enjoy other activities as they receive their daily dose of light. Reading, cooking, sewing, crafting, emailing, and working on the computer is all allowable as long as you remain within range of the unit.

Satisfied Customers

The Verilux Happy Lite has garnered some of the best customer reviews and most loyal customers in the industry based on its top notch design. Sufferers of SAD report that the problems they experienced with other light boxes and light therapy devices are not inherent in this make and model.

The annoying electronic buzz that accompanies many light therapy devices is not present in the Verilux Happy Lite. The sleek design of the unit with ballasts and Flicker Elimination Technology makes for a silent and peaceful experience.

Still more customers enjoyed the flexibility they have in choosing where to mount the unit. Each device comes with a wall mount and a desk frame. Either one of these can be used to keep the Verilux permanently in place. The device can also be temporarily placed in the mount or the frame and remain portable.

The Verilux Happy Lite Deluxe Sunshine Simulator works best when used consistently. It is important to set up a schedule and stick to it. If you have difficulty fitting 30 minutes at a time in your day you can break the time down into smaller intervals and still receive all the benefits of light therapy.

More women than men experience Seasonal Affective Disorder. Men, are you listening? The Verilux Happy Lite Deluxe Sunshine Simulator makes a great gift for the woman you love or anyone you know who is affected by SAD. It is also the perfect answer to your own symptoms from SAD.
