XTi PULSE Sleep/Recovery And Perform Lights Are Unlike Other Light Therapy.
XTi PULSE’s technology works best by absorption of light information through the eyes, not the skin. It is imperative that the user looks at the light to maximize its results. Looking down at a book, phone, ipad etc. is not recommended as the light is not being directed at the eyes.
Current research shows that using the Sleep/Recovery light will increase melatonin by up to 500% boosting the immune response, decreasing inflammation, reducing anxiety and improving mood. Additionally, research shows that utilizing the lamp before bed time will increase REM and blood oxygen levels during sleep. The Performance light has been shown to increase bone density and protein synthesis.
Be patient, It may take time for the results of XTi PULSE to become apparent. If you use the light throughout the night and find that the light is distracting to sleep, we recommend a lamp with a timer that will turn off after a set time.
