luminette3 Light Therapy Glasses - Wearable Light Therapy Lamp - Blue Enriched White LED Sun Lamp - Natural Relief for Sleep Problems, Seasonal Mood Disorders ja Jet lag - Portable Daylight Lamp

I have been looking into solutions for light therapy after reading about the effectiveness and was surprised to find light therapy glasses. I have been using these for better sleep and better visibility during the day from wear and tear working on a computer 40+ hours of the week. So far, so good. I really like the fact you can wear these around the house at your own leisure. If I am doing things standard tasks around the house or just curled up on the couch, I put them on to get the wear time. I am seeing an overall benefit but you do need to use them daily. I find if I skip a day, the benefits aren’t as noticeable. When I do wear them its anywhere from 15-30 minutes – again just depends on what I’m doing around the house. For me, benefits have been much more alert & less strain felt on my eyes. What I like: How easy it is to wear them, they are snug and don’t fall off, very comfortable to wear, comes with a nice travel case, and re-chargeable – very practical and no need to keep purchasing batteries. It comes with extra nose pieces too, which is always appreciated to have an extra set aside should the current piece get wear and tear. Overall I really like these and would highly recommend if you are looking for a solution to better sleeping, better alert, less tired eyes – usage has been outstanding for me!

These glasses are magic. That's the only way I can describe the effects that I have noticed over the past 4 weeks of wearing them. I am a male in his early 30s who is in excellent physical and mental health. However, ever since a very young child (elementary school!) I have gotten up very early. Sometimes, 4am-5am, which to me is OK. But there have been times throughout my life where I would be getting up as early as 2am, for basically no reason. Working from home means I can work at any hour I want, and I got into a habit of doing this, because the house and my home office/studio is very quiet at those hours. In fact, nearly a decade ago, it saved my life, as my apartment building caught fire at 3am, and I was the only one awake. I called 911, simply because that is when I am awake. Everyone made it out (everyone on the top floor, including a baby, had to be rescued via the fire department with rescue ladder trucks as the entire hallway was up in flames) - but the fire chief who was on scene later that morning said they got there within "minutes" of people on the first floor being overcome by the smoke. I felt like I had been in that apartment for some reason. And my early morning waking was a big part of it, though I often think I just got lucky in that case.Nevertheless, it has sometimes felt impossible to stay asleep longer than this 2-3am thing. I remember thinking, how do people actually stay in bed so long? I have not had an alarm clock wake me up in decades. To much of the amusement of my friends, and occasionally, even doctors, I have expressed how I wish I could sleep in ! Many people say, damn, "I wish I was like you!". It has it's advantages, especially for morning shift work, which I have done nearly my entire professional career; 6am-2pm shifts in public safety dispatch, air traffic control, and such. Yet, the issue here is I, for many years, would be sleepy by 8-9pm, and it was something I have always wanted to try to shift. Even if I went to bed at 11pm or later, I would still be up at 2-3am.I have spoken to doctors about this, and it's not insomnia (my sleep cycles are actually excellent). I have heard at least one person describe this as an 'evolutionary advantage'. I don't know if I'd go that far. LOL. Basically, it became fairly obvious that I did not have insomnia, or any issue with my sleep itself. I got tired, I slept, and I naturally woke up. But it simply happened on a shifted cycle, one that was a few hours advanced than the planet. Indeed, I thus finally came to realize that I was one of the rarest of the 'circadian rhythm challengers': a young person who did not have delayed sleep phases, but actually had the truly elusive and often overlooked ADVANCED sleep phase disorder. This is common in older people. But apparently I've always had it. And there's a lot of evidence it's tied to genetics (I have family members who have this, too).But - wearing the Luminette 3 for one or two sessions in the mid afternoon, in just over 4 weeks, has pushed my sleep a full TWO HOURS. I have been naturally awake until around 10pm now, and I am now getting up around 4-5am consistently. I haven't seen 2am on my clock in weeks. Furthermore, I am absolutely less tired throughout the day, and my Fitbit sleep and stress scores all improved. Of note, my heart rate variability also improved by almost double. I was very skeptical of this device, simply because I did not understand how powerful circadian entrainment can be. But, wow. I am convinced now. I also have a few pairs of Spectra479 blue-blockers, for use later on in the day, too.My only critique, and it's more or less just a suggestion, but it should be explained that, removing the protective blue film that is over the hologram is a bit confusing and can put the functionality of the device at risk. I figured it out, but I could see how someone could actually inadvertently rip the entire hologram off the device; which is the centerpiece of the technology. So, the company should better explain this, or just ditch the protective film all together. All in all, this is not enough to detract from my personal opinion of these, which is that they are a true 5/5 device, and one that has greatly improved my life.

The Luminette device arrived well-packaged, and upon opening the factory box I was impressed by the storage case, the light device, and easy to read detailed instructions. Being skeptical of the light treatment at first, I was glad to know the device came with money back guarantee. I made sure the device was fully charged, and set aside 20 minutes for 1500 lux (high setting) treatment every morning. First morning after treatment I noticed substantial increase in my energy level the entire day. I was pleased that the device continued to keep my energy level improved day after day. The light treatment also seems to reduce my tendency to have anxiety in frustrating situations. I'm sold on the Luminette as an effective light treatment device. It lights up my emotional and physical world in a positive way.

It's easy to use and far more convenient than the light boxes that I've purchased in the past. I keep it on the nightstand and when the alarm goes off I just put it on and turn it on and head off to start the coffee maker. I can use it while I'm catching up on email in the morning news. Easy. I noticed that it's really useful in helping me fall asleep sooner and with reducing jet lag. My one issue is that it is so tight at the temple it is ridiculous. The nose pads dig into my face, leaving me disinclined to want to use it.

I have used SAD lights for at least 15 years. When I finally bought this wearable SAD visor, I felt a little "spoiled," but I was wrong. This light therapy visor is wonderful. It is so easy to use, and it makes light therapy happen first thing in the morning, while I'm having coffee and browsing the news on my laptop. It has three levels of intensity, and it times itself according to which level I've chosen. I generally use the least-intense level, but when visiting my grandchildren, I was able to zip through light therapy in short order, on "high." I love this! It costs about what my SAD lamp cost, but what a difference! It accomodates ME, rather than making me sit in place so that the lamp shines on my face. It comes with a charger, which I keep in the zipper case with the visor. Perfect for travel as well. SIMPLE. FAST. EFFECTIVE. EASY to use. I cannot recommend this too highly. If your choice is between a lamp and this visor, skip the lamp! This visor works!
