Disorder:Advanced Circadian Rhythm Disorder
Score: A44
Severity: Mild
ADVANCED CIRCADIAN RHYTHM DISORDER
According to your results, you have mild Advanced Circadian Rhythm Disorder (ACR). ACR means your body clock is running faster than a normal 24-hour period. Because it is running fast, your body clock is producing the wrong hormones at the wrong time of day.. ACR also causes you to run out of energy before the 'day' or 24 hour period is through, and shortens the sleep portion of your daily cycle, causing you to lose valuable sleep. ACR sufferers often sleep less than 8 hours per night, and awaken early.
Your Circadian Rhythm
As you can see from this graph, your circadian rhythm is running faster than a normal circadian rhythm, causing you to produce the wrong hormones at the wrong time of day. This means you may not have enough energy during the day, you tire too soon and awaken too quickly. By shifting your circadian rhythm back to a normal cycle, you'll experience increased energy with the ability to sleep better during the night.
Your Target Zone
Your body clock will only respond to light at certain times of day, and light at the wrong time can cause your condition to worsen. It is very important to use your light during your target zone and not at other times . Refer to your personal treatment schedule to know when to start using your light.
PERSONAL TREATMENT SCHEDULE
The circadian assessment program creates a customized treatment schedule from your test responses. Use the following schedule for best results:
Day Start Time Duration
1-2 -1:-30 am 30 min.
3 -1:00 am 30 min.
4 12:-30 am 30 min.
5+ 12:00 am 15-30 min.
Adjusting your treatment
As your circadian rhythm begins to normalize, you should notice more energy throughout the day with the ability to stay asleep longer during the night. Most people find their sleep patterns improve significantly if not completely. Once your body clock has become entrained by the light it doesn't need as strong of a stimulus of light. After the first week of use, most people find they can receive the same benefit by decreasing treatment time or sitting farther away from the light device.
CAUTION: Use Only with Apollo Products
These test results are calibrated to work with Apollo’s light therapy devices. Apollo’s BRITEWAVE™ and BLUEWAVE™ technologies produce a stronger and more rapid response than conventional light therapy, because they induce a higher degree of photoreceptor cell stimulation. Using other light devices with these results may not produce as effective of a response, or they could aggravate your symptoms by not shifting your circadian rhythm as quickly. If you have a different brand of light therapy, you may need to extend your shifting schedule or amount of time you use your light each day.
