SAD lights

Shelflife I was told by a consultant the cause of SAD is lack of light reaching back of eyes and if weather to miserable for walking to stand at front/back door several times a day.

Hope you find good advice re light boxes

CrazyH , you are very fortunate. There was a time when I couldn't bear even the slightest light creeping into the bedroom. Strange how things change - must be me getting older !!!

Everyone is different - I prefer a dark bedroom.

Thank you for your responses. I have googled and Anniebach I appreciate your suggestion about contacting the Sad.Association. once I am up and showered my mood improves and I then take a walk or potter about in the garden . Being outside makes a massive difference.

I use one that comes on gradually in the morning, simulating the sunrise. It’s a nice awakening, but I don’t know if it makes me feel better for the rest of the day though.

I found it worked too

Do contact the SAD. Association, they will advise on light boxes, I used one for years when I lived in a cottage with small
Windows.

I can't say from personal experience but I believe they are very good and I would definitely get one if I needed it. There are instructions on how to use them and how long for. Just Google 'sad lamps' and you'll find loads of information and advice.
