Headache and feeling sick

I've just started using a Brightspark lamp, and am finding that I end feeling sick and headachey for the rest of the day.

For the past two days I have had the light on for half an hour, first thing in the morning, and I sit within two feet of it.

Has anyone else had the same experience, or am I doing something wrong?

You aren't looking right at it most of the time are you? That can cause headaches.

You need to do other things w/ the light shining above you so it can hit your lower eyelids. this is apparently how we absorb the benefits of light into our pineal and adrenal glands. You can glance at the light a bit, kind of like you'd do if you were out in the sun.

Half and hour might be too much at a time for you too. I get a different side effect if I spend half an hour, I get a drug like sleepiness. So 20 mins is my morning limit and maybe another 10 min hit later if I do get really tired, it will revive me.

Hi ally

I use mine on its end, standing up next to my computer monitor. Or if you have an older monitor you can sit it along the top. This seems to have helped me
