Customer Reviews of Verilux TwiLight Mini Ultra Blue Light Therapy Sleep System
Customer Review: Cheaply made, overpriced
Summary: 1 Stars
The switch broke on my lamp after three days of use and less than 10 actual operations of the switch itself. I could not make the plastic shroud fit in the metal back as intended. This lamp is an incredible rip-off for the cost. The bulb constitutes the majority of the inflated retail price and is stamped with the chemical symbol, "Hg", for Mercury, a toxic substance not only to ingest but to mine. Don't buy this product if you're concerned about your health. Humans have slept both poorly and well for many thousands of years without mercury-bearing fluorescent bulbs to reset their biological clocks. So may you. Try exercise in sunlight.Customer Review: Bad instructions
Summary: 1 Stars
The instruction to use this light at night before going to bed is wrong. Full spectrum, especially blue light, suppresses melatonin production. That is the hormone that rises just before sleep and falls again towards the end of sleep. Exposing yourself to light before bed would shift your circadian rhythms forward such that your body would see your actual clock bedtime as being much earlier in the evening. Thus, you would fall asleep later at night, not at your bedtime. I'm shocked that the instructions say what they do. Use this light in the morning!Customer Review: Bad Idea!
Summary: 1 Stars
I strongly agree with the preceding review. All scientific research indicates that this type of light is helpful first thing in the morning, certainly not at night!!! This type of light actually signals the brain to destroy the lingering melatonin which is a hormone that makes you sleepy. Using this light at night to fall asleep would be very counterproductive! Do your own research...
Customer Review: Waste of a first paycheck.
Summary: 1 Stars
Broke after two weeks and I couldn't return it. It didn't really do anything for me at all in the brief period during which it was functioning properly. Total waste of money.
