How does the Dayligh work?
In autumn and winter, the seasons with the least sunlight because of shorter days, the
lack of sunlight and a problem with certain brain chemicals stops the hypothalamus
working properly. The lack of light is thought to affect the production of the hormone
melatonin (that makes you sleepy). "Daylight" uses very bright lights to simulate the
sunlight during the darker autumn and winter, whilst eliminating the dangerous UV rays
contained in sunlight. The additional light helps your brain to reduce to production of
hormone melatonin, adjust the levels of melatonin that can help the symptoms of SAD or
