Your body clock is slow
Do you tend to fall asleep too late and have a hard time getting up in the morning?
We advise a light therapy session as soon as you wake up.
Your body clock is fast
Do you have a hard time staying awake in the evening and do you wake up
too early in the morning? We advise a light therapy session at the end of the
afternoon or the beginning of the evening, two or three hours before the time you
plan to go to bed.
4. To treat jet lag
Jet lag is the result of crossing several time zones very rapidly, usually in a
plane, and results in disturbed body rhythms: insomnia, drowsiness, physical and
intellectual fatigue, mood swings, difficulty concentrating...
Some simple steps and the use of Luminette® can considerably reduce the
symptoms.
•
During the flight
Set your watch to the time zone of your destination, drink lots of water and try not
to drink alcohol, coffee or tea.
•
When you arrive
If you are travelling east, when you arrive we advise you to avoid sunlight on the first
morning (by wearing blue blocker glasses or high sun protection sunglasses) and to
get as much as you can in the afternoon (by, for example, using your Luminette®)
in order to maintain low levels of melatonin. During the following days, put your
session forward by two hours a day, taking care not to go past your normal bedtime.
If you are travelling west, once you arrive, we advise you to stay awake as long
as it is still light, and to wear your Luminette® at the beginning of the afternoon
(between midday and 3pm). But as soon as it is dark, go to sleep.
5. To optimise shift work
If you work for more than three nights in a row and you have a hard time
staying awake at work and/or on your way home, then we recommend a light
therapy session just before starting work and, if you get drowsy, a second session
during your work break.
We also advise that you talk to your GP.
