Scientifically Proven to Work

An artificial dawn simulator works by simulating a sunrise. It's a technique that uses a light that comes on very slowly to imitate a natural sunrise. The key research finding is that our "body clocks" respond to this stimulus by speeding up and reinforcing the waking-up process so that, in effect, we have woken up before our eyes even open! Each person's internal body clock is set by how light or dark it is around them. When we're sleeping and it's dark, our bodies produce the sleep hormone melatonin. By initiating a sunrise with an artificial dawn simulator, the production of melatonin in your body is decreased, allowing your body to wake up in a more natural restful way. It's important to note that a light coming on suddenly does not have the same effect.

Research has shown conclusively that sunrise/dawn simulators, like Sunrise Creator, help to regulate and align the production of the hormones serotonin and melatonin. Low serotonin levels are believed to be the causes of many cases of mild to severe depression, anxiety, apathy, fatigue, and insomnia. Melatonin is the chief regulator of our circadian rhythms or sleep cycles. Any increase in this hormone contributes to fatigue, sleepiness, and excessive eating and weight gain. The decrease in seratonin is linked to the increased production in melatonin resulting in the seasonal disorders.

Light therapy helps most people whether you have Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or not.
