Verilux® TwiLight™ Ultra Blue Light Therapy
System—The system developed by NASA
The Verilux® TwiLight™ Blue Light Therapy
System uses a "narrow" wavelength of the blue light spectrum (460nm) to
naturally help re-set your internal clock. As we age, we tend to go to bed
earlier, but tend to wake periodically during the night. Using the TwiLight™
System early in the evening can help you stay up a little later and wake less
during the night. With young people who stay up late, but have trouble waking in
the morning, using the TwiLight™ first thing upon waking, can promote greater
alertness during the morning and the onset of sleep earlier in the evening.
- Turn on the TwiLight™ Blue Light Therapy
System for 30 minutes and the blue light will help retard the production of
pineal melatonin.
- For older people, this allows them to be
more alert into the evening hours, and experience a more restful sleep when
the body does produce melatonin later in the sleep cycle.
- Teens and young adults find themselves
better able to function at school and work after they have used the TwiLight™
right after rising in the morning, as it turns off the production of melatonin

Special note: Researchers have found limited evidence that bright and blue
light therapy may cause additional harm to people with pre-existing eye damage
(including glaucoma and macular degeneration), and could increase the incidence
of age related blindness. Medical professionals recommend people with
pre-existing retinal conditions be tested prior to using any bright or blue
light therapy system.
