light therapy : bright light therapy is used to advance or delay sleep, depending on how the circadian rhythm is shifted. patients are exposed to high-intensity light (up to 10,000 lux) for a duration of 30–60 minutes at a time, the time of day depending on whether an advance or a delay is required a central issue for effective light therapy is proper timing with respect to the internal master clock, whose position with respect to external clock time varies up to six hours or more between individuals. without proper timing, the treatment can produce minimal or even countertherapeutic effects. for clinical application, it is impractical to assess internal clock position with serial sampling of melatonin in the blood or saliva.
