During the first daily session the participants will wear the glasses for one hour after they wake up in the morning and during the second session they will wear the glasses for one hour starting two hours before preferred bed time. Control group: Placebo will consist of red light therapy being administered using the same glasses as the blue therapy but with red coloured glass instead of blue coloured glass. The red light protocol will be identical to the blue light protocol again requiring the participants to wear the glasses twice daily for one hour (total two hours each day). Each participant will use the blue light therapy for a total of two weeks or the red light therapy for two weeks as well.
