I got a light box and started it this morning. I did 15 mins when I first woke up.... Is this the recommended time? Any tips on using this light that has worked for you?

This says start with 20-30 minutes a day depending on the strength of your light. I hope this helps you!

I did lightly therapy and you’re supposed to start at 30seconds. Then increase each session by 30seconds if you didn’t have a reaction or any burns from the last treatment. You should never start that high or you will burn yourself. Start slowly and work your way up, otherwise you just burn (even if you don’t notice) and the treatment is ineffective.
