Well I've been using the green light for an hour each morning for about a week. So far I am satisfied. The light is MUCH less intense and more comfortable than the blue light I had previously been using.
I have noticed a modest yet significant improvement in mood and my sleep cycle is also improving--perhaps now because I have a definite reason to wake at the same time every morning--even on weekends.
At about the same time I started the light I had to stop my fish oil for a medical procedure, so I'll be interested to see my response once I return to the fish oil.
I've also recently had a significant stressor in my life removed, so that may also have a role on my mood and sleep, but so far I do believe I am receiving a fair amount of benefit from the light itself, though not drastic, that I will keep with it. I am hoping to eventually decrease my light time to 30-40 minutes eventually. Peace...Saturn.
