Did you know that?... Light Therapy

Academic performance can be affected by your bodyclock.

A disrupted bodyclock can have profound effects on academic performance.

Research at the University of Toronto has shown that on average students can drop up to six to seven points on intelligence tests just because their biological clocks are out of sync with their sleep and wake patterns.

For students on a knife edge between grades that six point handicap could make all the difference.

Says David Goldstein of the University of Toronto - As a result, many kids have never been able to perform at their best, and that is a terrible shame.

And grades may be the least of their problems when their biological clocks are out of tune with sleep and wake patterns. Even a small shift can be a problem.

Numerous studies reveal a higher incidence of mental and physical disorders from cancer to obesity, depression and a compromised immune system.

What can be done?

Our bodyclocks are set by natural light cues of sunrise and sunset. So we naturally feel disposed to sleeping as night approaches and waking up at light dawns in the morning.

But modern lifestyles dictate that we get to sleep well into the night and wake up when its still dark so resulting in our bodyclocks clashing with our sleep wake cycles.

A SUNRISE ALARM CLOCK simulates a gentle dawn and a gradually brightening simulated sunrise. As the light of the SUNRISE ALARM CLOCK falls on your shut eyes it gently triggers you into a natural awakening that"™s in perfect harmony with your sleep and wake cycle.

You wake up more alert, more refreshed and ready to grapple with just about any mental challenges thrown at you!
