other activities such as reading, writing, hobby making & crafting,  
sewing, needlepoint, applying makeup, painting, or working at a

from your face, and should be  
slightly offset from center (see

directly at the light source.

your eyes must be open to achieve  
the full benefit. Note:Tinted  
glasses reduce the amount of  
light reaching your eyes.

the HappyLite® Mini should be used first thing in the morning. Note:  
It is recommended that you limit your exposure to the light during the  
evening hours.  
Each person’s sensitivity to light is different. It is important to establish  
a distance and schedule that is comfortable for you. We recommend  
you use the light regularly and at about the same time each day. It is  
not necessary to sit in front of the lamp continuously.You can divide the  
time into several mini sessions. Continue to use the HappyLite® Mini  
daily until you feel an improvement in your mood and activity level.
