Has anyone here ever tried to use one of those SAD sunshine machines? If so, do they work?
I often thought of getting one of these, but then have read how long you need to use it each day, and do wonder how much of it is purely psychological?
I have always found that I can usually manage to get through to the end of each year with only mild SAD symptons - January and February have always been the reall bad months for me - usually running well into March.
Having moved towards the end of last year, I have had a much busier few months than normal, getting things done in my new flat. Also taken away from me concerns about effect of weather on my property - I have had one of the best years (with regard to SAD) that I can remember.
Do notice the incredible difference it makes, still, when I open the curtains in my bedroom and see the sun instead of the incessant rain.
