Light therapy sleep trial

I get to wear these trendy glasses twenty minutes every morning.

  • Sleepcare Research Team. Cancer sleep therapy trial through Monash, Bendigo Health and Peter Mac. However, I think you can be anywhere to access this trial. So far I have done everything via phone. 
    @arpie Chemo apparently is responsible for stuffing up the circadian rhythm so yes, the glasses are supposed to help reset.
  • Interesting @Blossom1961 - groovy glasses !  You need to add some bling.
    Is the trial part of your BC treatment ?
    I always try to stay with set times for turning the light out and then getting up.  I don't often fall into the trap of getting up if I cannot sleep - and I never use technology if I do get up.
    Do let us know more about the trial and please keep us updated on your progress a I am sure many will be interested.
  • WOW @Blossom1961 - is that to 'reset' your circadian rhythm?   I was told years ago to always, when I first get out of bed, to open the blinds and deliberately watch the rising sun for a minute or so .... It was somehow supposed to reset my brain that it was 'wake up' time .... 

    Let me know how you go!!
