Winter effect on energy levels and productivity

Why Are Bodyclock Wake-Up Lights So Effective?

Light causes hormonal changes

Many people feel less productive and less energetic in the winter. Winter months bring shorter days and less sunlight. Sunlight is a natural signal to our bodies that it is time to wake up.

When you are sleeping and the Bodyclock Active 250 gradually lights up, it prompts your body to reduce the production of sleep hormones such as melatonin and increase the levels of hormones like cortisol that help you get up and go.

A sunrise provides a fantastic start to the day. When outdoor light is lacking during dreary winter months or if you live in a dark basement apartment the Bodyclock Active 250 is the perfect solution. Drastically helps you feel brighter and more energetic!

Light and our sleep cycle

Our internal body clocks are meant to align with the sunrise and sunset. They can be thrown into disarray by modern life. We feel tired and stressed waking early for work or school. Bodyclock restores the rhythm, helping you feel awake during the day and ready to sleep at night.

Bodyclock Active 250 wakes you up gradually with light that mimics the spectrum changes of a real sunrise.

Bodyclock Active 250 has been designed for therapeutic purposes to help with winter blues and other physical sleep/wake difficulties.
