How does the "Daylight" work?

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 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 winter
