They can also be beneficial for individuals with shift work sleep disorder, jet lag, and certain skin conditions like psoriasis.

  • How do I choose the right light therapy lamp for my needs? When selecting a light therapy lamp, consider factors such as light intensity (measured in lux), size of the lamp, features like adjustable brightness and timer settings, and any specific conditions you're targeting (e.g., SAD, sleep disorders).
