Philips EnergyUp HF3431 [12/68] English

Winter blues

If you experience lower energy levels, an increased need for sleep, and a

lower mood in the dark season compared to spring and summer, use the

energy light for 20-30 minutes a day. Preferably use it in the morning to

help you start the day. You may also use it later during the day, but do not

use it in the last few hours before bedtime. If you do, the light could delay

your sleep and make you even less energetic the next day.

Sleep patterns

- Morning persons tend to wake up early in the morning and usually

nd it difcult to stay awake in the evening. If you want to get more

out of your evening, avoid bright light directly after waking up and use

the appliance in the evening.

- Evening persons nd it difcult to get up in the morning and are full

of energy in the evening. If this applies to you, you need morning light.

Use the appliance within the rst 1-2 hours after you get out of bed.

Avoid bright light or blue-rich light in the last 4 hours before bedtime.

Daily use of the appliance in the morning may help you establish a

regular sleep pattern that allows you to function better in the morning.

Note: If your desired wake-up time is less than six hours after your normal

bedtime, do not use the appliance immediately after you wake up. This could

give your body a signal that is opposite to the one intended.
