HumanCharger tyrmättiin taas kerran

Amerikkalainen Refinery29-sivusto kokeili HumanChargeria ei kovin mairittelevin tuloksin.

Too good to be true, right? For me, sadly, yes. I trialled the HumanCharger over the wettest, darkest late-September week on record and did not find it to be an effective solution. While it felt good to be getting on top of SAD before the winter took hold, I wouldn’t recommend swapping out your vitamin D supplements in favour of this light therapy device, no matter how quick and convenient it appears to be. I also trialled it on a 5am flight to see if it could alleviate that out-of-whack feeling that comes with an early plane journey. I wasn’t traversing any time zones so cannot comment on its ability to cure jet lag, but I certainly didn’t feel any peppier – at least until I’d had my double macchiato.

Those I spoke to outside the organisation were more wary. Dr Clare Morrison, a GP and medical advisor at MedExpress, admitted she had never come across a device like this but said: "I’m very sceptical about how this device can do what it claims to do. It is true that the body is sensitive to light, and that, in some situations, natural sunlight or bright artificial light, can boost one's mood and energy levels." However, she added: "As far as I am aware, light therapy would only work if the light was applied to the eyes, rather than the ears."
