How much exposure to SKYVIEW 2 do I need to benefit from it?
We recommend placing your SKYVIEW 2 Pro in the room you spend the most time in—ideally, at least 4 hours per day. If no room fits this criteria, your bedroom is an excellent choice. Waking up to the sunrise feature can significantly improve your morning routine and sleep quality.
For optimal results, position SKYVIEW 2 Pro about 3 feet (0.9 meters) from your face, within your direct line of sight, whether on a workstation, bedside table, or in a living area. Ideally, you would have a SKYVIEW in each frequently occupied room, particularly where you sleep or work.
