'Daylight' bulbs

So, could I use one of these in place of a normal light bulb (in my bedroom for example) or would that confuse my body and prevent me from sleeping after i've turned it off?

For those capable of reading and thinking for themselves here is the full text of the Risk Assessment for Vitamin D3 Bear in mind also the amounts the body uses and my frequent injunctions regarding safe sunbathing.
You may also find this site explains the process of Vitamin D3 synthesis in ways more intelligible for the layperson.

Lol, of course not. I used to have daylight bilbs in my front room, the light they give off is amazing, makes a massive difference compared to 'yellow' light.

this abstract gives an idea of the best times to use bright light therapy for SAD, or resetting your body clock if you've been abroad.
I doubt the intensity of light from these bulbs would be anywhere near the 2000lux needed to treat SAD or keep you awake at night. Though those wishing it get a sound nights sleep Wiki has more info on Melatonin

Here's a link for those interested in finding out more about the question of light and the circadian clock

I'm not sure that the previous poster has read the full article or realises it confirms my frequent links to Good sources of Vit K Spinach & Swiss chard both of which I've been promoting at healthy and moneysaving and easy to grow your own, or another frequent link I use to a good source of vit A Cod Liver Oil Liquid - St Clements
