How it works
Gradual light increase suppresses melatonin and stimulates cortisol awakening response via retinohypothalamic tract, improving mood, alertness, and ease of waking in winter.
Less evidence than bright light therapy but easier to implement (happens during sleep). Best used as an adjunct to morning bright light exposure, not as a sole treatment for severe SAD.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
