Pimeinä vuodenaikoina väsyttää: kaamosväsymys ja sen syyt
Pimeinä vuodenaikoina moni pohjoisessa asuva kärsii kaamosrasituksesta, jonka suurimpana laukaisijana on kirkkaan valon puute. Luonnollista auringonvaloa on tarjolla vain vähän aikaa päivisin ja sekin tulee usein vietettyä sisällä, esimerkiksi töiden merkeissä.
Kaamosrasituksen tyypillisiä vaikutuksia ovat toimintatarmon puute, väsymys päiväsaikaan, sosiaalinen vetäytyminen, ärsyyntyminen, surumielisyys, hiilihydraatti- tai sokeripitoisen ruoan himo, heräämisvaikeudet, liikaunisuus, voimattomuus sekä painon nousu. Apua on mahdollista saada liikunnasta, terveellisestä ruokavaliosta sekä säännöllisestä kirkasvalon käytöstä.
Research clearly shows that light has a strong effect on melatonin production. When melatonin production is stopped in the morning, its release naturally begins again in the evening at the right time.
The challenge during the dark winter months is that it’s still dark when you wake up. Your body may continue producing the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin into the early morning hours—even after you've woken up. There's only a short window of daylight before it gets dark again, and melatonin production starts increasing once more. The fatigue you feel isn’t imaginary or a sign of laziness—it’s your body’s natural response to the lack of light.
Bright light helps reduce that feeling of tiredness. The best time to use bright light is in the morning, right after waking up. This way, it not only energizes you for the day but also helps regulate your internal clock throughout the day.
BRIGHT LIGHT THERAPY IS SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO BE EFFECTIVE
Bright light therapy has been studied in Europe and North America for over 40 years. Finnish research on the benefits of bright light is also extensive.
Throughout these studies, bright light has been used to support people suffering from seasonal fatigue, and the results show that symptoms improved in 60–90% of those who used bright light therapy.
Seasonal fatigue and daytime exhaustion
Recent research has highlighted the benefits of bright light in preventing daytime exhaustion and fatigue among individuals experiencing seasonal fatigue. Studies show that bright light therapy contributes to overall well-being (1) and can ease symptoms of seasonal fatigue after just one use (2).
Innolux bright light devices provide powerful light that compensates for the lack of natural sunlight during the darker seasons. These lamps meet all the quality standards required for effective and safe bright light therapy.
“Not just any bright lamp is suitable for light therapy. To be effective, a bright light must produce at least 2,500 lux. All Innolux light therapy lamps provide a safe and effective light intensity of up to 10,000 lux, with a pure white light color (4000 K).”
