Spring is here!
Spring is here beautiful and very much alive.
The trees are budding, the egret and the bluebirds have returned, and things are starting to turn green.
Traditionally, this is a slower time of year for us here at Light Therapy Products. However, this year, we are making some exciting changes to our website and product line.
We have added a section of sleep and relaxation products, and we are continuing to add to our product offerings!
Soon, the sleep/relaxation section will have its own landing page icon so that it is easy to find. Right now, if you click here:

We are still building the new product line but there are already some great things available to help you sleep better.
Dawn simulator alarm clocks
White noise generators
Pillows
Compact Discs
Headphones
Aromatherapy Candles and Oils
And some great new books.
So many of our customers tell us that they don’t sleep well. Although light boxes and sunrise alarm clocks can help with that, we have been looking for a broader range of products that can help more people. We have personally used some of the products, and we look forward to your feedback on the rest of the items.
An important part of having and maintaining energy is being well rested. I recently read some great tips for getting quality sleep:
-Time evening work outs more than 2-3 hours before sleep.
-Limit or eliminate caffeine (even decaf has caffeine) after 3pm if you are not sleeping deeply.
-Keep your bedroom below 62 degrees for better brain function.
-If you have trouble regulating your body temperature at night, try wearing socks to bed. Your body’s thermostat is often connected with the feet. If they are warm, your body furnace won’t crank the heat.
-Make sure that your bedroom is reserved for romance and sleep-that’s it. Remove any items or activities that detract from the peaceful and calming atmosphere that the bedroom should be. Your body will learn that this is a place of relaxation.
Start your day off in a brand new way with one of our dawn simulators. These great clocks wake the body with light instead of sound. You can make have your own personal sunrise every day. The light tells the body to come out of the sleep cycle and get up for the day. With 4 or more months of dark mornings, doesn’t that sound great?! Then to wake the body fully, try using a light box, taking a brisk walk or doing your version of a work out. Nothing says wake up like deep breathing and bright light therapy!
