One writer's honest thoughts on 'happy lights' aka light therapy.
I live in a tiny, first-floor studio apartment with only two windows flanked by two high-rise buildings on each side, so as you can imagine, my space is utterly devoid of natural light—it’s basically a dungeon accented with some cute home decor pieces. Like many people, my mood and productivity are highly impacted by lighting so rather than breaking my year-long lease , I decided to look for alternative options to brighten up my dim space.
Light therapy devices work to emulate the appearance of natural light and can help enhance mood and productivity because the bright light they emit stimulates cells in our retina connected to the part of our brain that helps regulate circadian rhythms. The ideal light therapy fixture should offer about 10,000 lux , which is far brighter than typical indoor light. For comparison, a sunny day usually measures around 50,000 lux or so.
