For the past few weeks I have been feeling like I am asleep all the time. I am never fully awake. I’ve been wondering whether it’s really just about the weather and my body adjusting to it.
Last year I first discovered Valkee - earplugs with light. Okay now I know it sounds goofy and they have had some accusations of placebo but to be totally honest with you, I feel that they really helped me last winter. In the end, for me it doesn’t matter if the effect is scientific or placebo if the result is that I feel better. Scientifically talking, the light through ear channels is perceived in certain brain area similarly as sun light. Or that's how I have understood it! One of the things it can help you deal with is Seasonal affective disorder (SAD). So kicking your ass, Winter Blues!

As always, it comes to the habit. Obviously, I did not feel any drastic changes after the first use or even first days and week. However, after using them each day for 12 minutes at a time I started feeling more energised. It’s funny how it doesn’t hit you like an espresso shot but it comes smoothly and after half an hour you just notice that you feel better. I mean after using Valkee I really feel like I saw some sun. Hahah, as you can see I am a huge fan of this device! What also makes Valkee plugs great is that they are really sleekly designed and look fancy even as a gadget!
And now to the best part of this post. Valkee is kind enough to grant one of my lucky readers a pair of their own plugs! So the rules are following:
