TAKING YOUR TREATMENT
1 Have the lightbox about an arms distance away and slightly
to one side. Figure 3.
2 The light needs to go into the eye, so do not wear goggles or
tinted glasses. Plain glasses or contact lenses are fine. Do not
doze or sleep - you must be awake to take the treatment.
3 Do not look at the light all the time, just glance at it every now
and then. You can carry on with your normal routine, reading
and writing; have breakfast beside it or use when you are using
your computer.
4 It is better to take your light treatment as early as possible
during the day, and you should not use it within 4 hours of
bedtime.
5 Repeat daily during the autumn and winter months.
