FULL UP LIGHTS [2 records]

Record 1 2010-12-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Skiing and Snowboarding
CONT

(cross-country skiing) Night skiing on lighted tracks is gaining here in North America... Try to get a group together to build your own little loop. String up some carnival lights, use street lights, automobile headlights, bonfires, torches, or anything that will provide some illumination. Or, once or twice a year, when there is a little powder snow on top of a good base, and the moon is full, go out night skiing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Ski et surf des neiges
DEF

Ski sous les réflecteurs qui se pratique entre 18 h et 22 h pour le ski alpin (ski de soirée), ou pendant la nuit, à la lueur de la lune, pour le ski de fond (ski de nuit).

CONT

Un centre de ski alpin doit fermer à la brunante pour éviter les accidents causés par une mauvaise lecture des pentes par les skieurs à cette période de la journée. Il ne peut rouvrir qu'à la noirceur totale; les heures de fermeture (ski de jour) et de réouverture (ski de soirée) varient donc, de novembre à avril, en raison de l'heure du coucher du soleil.

  • Medical and Surgical Equipment
  • Biophysics
CONT

Sunrise simulator... slowly lights a bedside lamp to simulate dawn. This simulates sunrise and tells your brain that it is time to get up and start the day. Instructions are included. At the time you select, your lamp will slowly go from off to full on.

CONT

Research has shown that using a dawn simulator (or Bodyclock) can significantly reduce the severity of SAD [seasonal affective disorder] symptoms, and many SAD sufferers use both a Bodyclock and a lightbox to optimise their treatment. It has also been shown that using a Bodyclock improves mood, energy, productivity and quality of sleep and awakening.

OBS

Bodyclocks work by waking you up naturally with light. You choose the time you want to wake up and the light very slowly begins to get brighter (like a sunrise) and starts your body’s natural wake-up process. Although you’re still asleep, your body is responding to the increasing light and when the light reaches full brightness you wake up naturally, not suddenly, to a room filled with a sunny glow. By giving your body a kind of "head-start," instead of still feeling drowsy and confused when you wake up, you feel refreshed, positive and ready for the day ahead.

CONT

Simulateur d'aube. Se réveiller en douceur avec le soleil n'est possible qu'en certaines périodes de l'année... Un appareil comme celui-ci, qui recrée la levée progressive de l'aube, permet au cerveau de passer doucement de la phase de sommeil à celle d'éveil. Fini l'inconfort persistant d'un réveil brutal, alors que le dormeur était en sommeil profond. Les utilisateurs se lèvent désormais pleins d'énergie. Ce type de lampe programmable limiterait aussi les effets de la dépression hivernale.

CONT

Le Simulateur d'Aube (Dawn Simulator) «Digital SunRise Clock» vous éveille en douceur en simulant un lever de soleil. - Quelle façon agréable de commencer la journée!
