A bright light shining in the direction of your eyes (you do not have to look at the light) for 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the intensity of the lamp and your distance from it, stops your production of melatonin, a neurohormone produced by the pineal gland. This neurohormone helps you feel sleepy at night. Some people feeling sleepy during the day still have too much of this neurohormone in their blood.

Light therapy or phototherapy consists of exposure to daylight or to specific wavelengths of light using lasers, LEDs, fluorescent lamps, dichroic lamps or very bright, full-spectrum light, for a prescribed amount of time and, in some cases, at a specific time of day. It has proven effective in treating Acne vulgaris, seasonal affective disorder, and is part of the standard treatment regimen for delayed sleep phase syndrome. It has recently been shown effective in non-seasonal depression. Proponents claim demonstrable benefits for skin conditions such as psoriasis.
