Luminette 3 Light Therapy Glasses - Wearable Light Therapy Lamp - Blue Enriched White LED Sun Lamp - Natural Relief for Sleep Problems, Seasonal Mood Disorders ja Jet lag - Portable Daylight Lamp

These glasses are magic. That's the only way I can describe the effects that I have noticed over the past 4 weeks of wearing them. I am a male in his early 30s who is in excellent physical and mental health. However, ever since a very young child (elementary school!) I have gotten up very early. Sometimes, 4am-5am, which to me is OK. But there have been times throughout my life where I would be getting up as early as 2am, for basically no reason. Working from home means I can work at any hour I want, and I got into a habit of doing this, because the house and my home office/studio is very quiet at those hours. In fact, nearly a decade ago, it saved my life, as my apartment building caught fire at 3am, and I was the only one awake. I called 911, simply because that is when I am awake. Everyone made it out (everyone on the top floor, including a baby, had to be rescued via the fire department with rescue ladder trucks as the entire hallway was up in flames) - but the fire chief who was on scene later that morning said they got there within "minutes" of people on the first floor being overcome by the smoke. I felt like I had been in that apartment for some reason. And my early morning waking was a big part of it, though I often think I just got lucky in that case.Nevertheless, it has sometimes felt impossible to stay asleep longer than this 2-3am thing. I remember thinking, how do people actually stay in bed so long? I have not had an alarm clock wake me up in decades. To much of the amusement of my friends, and occasionally, even doctors, I have expressed how I wish I could sleep in ! Many people say, damn, "I wish I was like you!". It has it's advantages, especially for morning shift work, which I have done nearly my entire professional career; 6am-2pm shifts in public safety dispatch, air traffic control, and such. Yet, the issue here is I, for many years, would be sleepy by 8-9pm, and it was something I have always wanted to try to shift. Even if I went to bed at 11pm or later, I would still be up at 2-3am.I have spoken to doctors about this, and it's not insomnia (my sleep cycles are actually excellent). I have heard at least one person describe this as an 'evolutionary advantage'. I don't know if I'd go that far. LOL. Basically, it became fairly obvious that I did not have insomnia, or any issue with my sleep itself. I got tired, I slept, and I naturally woke up. But it simply happened on a shifted cycle, one that was a few hours advanced than the planet. Indeed, I thus finally came to realize that I was one of the rarest of the 'circadian rhythm challengers': a young person who did not have delayed sleep phases, but actually had the truly elusive and often overlooked ADVANCED sleep phase disorder. This is common in older people. But apparently I've always had it. And there's a lot of evidence it's tied to genetics (I have family members who have this, too).But - wearing the Luminette 3 for one or two sessions in the mid afternoon, in just over 4 weeks, has pushed my sleep a full TWO HOURS. I have been naturally awake until around 10pm now, and I am now getting up around 4-5am consistently. I haven't seen 2am on my clock in weeks. Furthermore, I am absolutely less tired throughout the day, and my Fitbit sleep and stress scores all improved. Of note, my heart rate variability also improved by almost double. I was very skeptical of this device, simply because I did not understand how powerful circadian entrainment can be. But, wow. I am convinced now. I also have a few pairs of Spectra479 blue-blockers, for use later on in the day, too.My only critique, and it's more or less just a suggestion, but it should be explained that, removing the protective blue film that is over the hologram is a bit confusing and can put the functionality of the device at risk. I figured it out, but I could see how someone could actually inadvertently rip the entire hologram off the device; which is the centerpiece of the technology. So, the company should better explain this, or just ditch the protective film all together. All in all, this is not enough to detract from my personal opinion of these, which is that they are a true 5/5 device, and one that has greatly improved my life.

Now 72 yo, I was diagnosed with Seasonal Affective Disorder at 40 and faithfully used my desktop 36 inch x 36 x light 5:30 - 6:30 am while reading correcting papers all these years. But I was stuck to sitting at that desk. Could not take the giant thing on a winter vacation if flying and didn’t want to take if driving and get up that early on a vacation good grief! Luminette is THE answer. Luminette is FREEDOM. I get up & put them on WHILE I make coffee brush teeth, have devotions, etc I complete my entire morning routine DURING my light treatment! The results are the same as if I were stuck at my desk. 1) ENERGY back YAAY! 2) Stop craving carbs thus lost 10 lbs YAAY! 3) Depression steadily decreased to nil. I beg you…don’t wait! Gift yourself with the cost, the very joy you give to yourself and your world depends on them in the winter!

I was a little skeptical about the efficacy of these glasses for SAD, or any other light, really. But I figured wearable ones would work best for me, since it would be ough to sit in one spot every morning for long enough to have a good effect.After consistently using them for almost three weeks, I have noticed an increase in energy and mood. They are comfortable to wear, even with my glasses on. Started for a couple days at the lowest setting, then for about a week on the middle setting, and now use the highest setting. I go about my morning as usual otherwise, and really don’t notice them too much!

Broke in under 2 years. The light still comes on but the plastic frame broke at the hinge in a way that's not fixable. Expected better longevity than that.

I have had these for four years, and I use them occasionally every winter. Long, dark days start to wear on me, so I use these for 20 minutes on high right after I wake up while my coffee is brewing. You can’t really read with them on, so I use the time as an opportunity to walk around and be active for a few minutes. I think they are quite effective for overcoming mild winter blues, and I like them better than the light panels because I don’t have to sit in one place while using. I get several uses between charges.

This is not a review. This is a warning. This warning is not based on any scientific data but only on personal experience. Even then it is not final, I'll keep updating in the coming days.Now as for the warning: My blood sugar level went up to 146 mg/dL, and BHB went down to 0.4 mmol/L today. This happened approximately 90 minutes after using the Luminette 3. Today was my eighth day. Every day I am using it on max settings, after 20 mins it automatically shuts off. The values I stated above are more than my average, and for the first time in three months I was kicked out of ketosis with that high fasting blood sugar. So my theory, or rather fear or suspicion and thus warning; until it is clarified vice versa by Luminette or any such other device manufacturer, is: To stay away from such devices because by provoking your cortisol hormone it may be increasing your blood sugar levels and insulin levels.Pay attention to my warning, especially if you are a Type 2 diabetic. Your cortisol, insulin hormones should be low. IF Luminette is boosting your cortisol levels (which they say they do on their website) that's not good for you. Higher cortisol means higher sugar, higher sugar means higher insulin, higher insulin means more fat will be stored, more fat around your organs -visceral fat- may be lethal in the long run.I'll update this as I have new figures.
