Doesn’t this bedding give new meaning to the phrase “light sleeper”?

Designed with electroluminescent technology, this bedding illuminates as it wakes you gently in the morning…which is what our body should be accustomed to.

Now why would you want to have a bed set like this?

Supposedly, the light treats those with SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder. This is a condition that affects sleep or a person’s mood and is linked to a lot of other ailments like migraines or conditions like weight gain or depression.

By using a bright light, 10,000 lux, our bodies reset and the right hormones are released ensuring we feel active and energetic throughout the day with the need to sleep at night. Exposure to intense artificial light suppresses the secretion of the night time hormone melatonin, and may enhance the effectiveness of serotonin and other neurotransmitters. It is believed to be the only way of shifting the circadian rhythm. Research shows that the body’s internal clock only responds to bright light at certain times of day. This peak time in normal people occurs when the circadian rhythm is in R.E.M sleep, which is approximately 1 to 2 hours before waking. This promotes the use of Light Sleeper Bedding and proves it to be one of the most effective products for treating SAD and improving well being as it synchronises our body clock each morning. The bedding is also suitable for those who keep unusual hours and who travel in helping to prevent jet lag and regulate the body clock.
