HumanCharger vs Winter Blues
Winter means shorter days, darker mornings and less opportunity for natural daylight — particularly for people living at northern latitudes.
Bright light can be a useful part of a morning routine when natural daylight is limited. HumanCharger provides a portable way to incorporate bright light into everyday life without sitting in front of a traditional light box.
What is winter blues?
Winter blues is characterized by symptoms such as low energy, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and changes in sleep patterns, typically occurring during the winter months when daylight hours are shorter.
What can I do about limited light during the dark months?
The science is clear, get as much sun in the first hour after waking up as possible. This will regulate your circadian rhythm. Unfortunately it is not that easy for everyone, or in every location, to get out in the sun before work. Therefore solutions like bright light lamps and other light therapy solutions are very popular.
HumanCharger during darker months
Unlike traditional light therapy devices, which require users to sit in front of a bright light box, the HumanCharger uses ear buds to deliver bright light directly to the brain through the ear canals. This light stimulates the brain's light-sensitive regions, similar to how natural sunlight does. The HumanCharger’s portability and ease of use make it a convenient alternative for individuals struggling with winter blues.
The recommended protocol for using the HumanCharger involves sessions of 12 minutes each, up to twice a day. Morning sessions are particularly effective, as they help set the body's internal clock for the day, promoting wakefulness and reducing feelings of lethargy. The device is easy to incorporate into daily routines, whether at home, in the office, or while commuting, due to its compact and portable design.
When the Light Changes, People Feel It.
"My entire life, I have suffered from the 'winter blues.' Neither light therapy
lamps nor medications helped, but finally, the HumanCharger worked wonders for
me." — Jan S., Denmark
