I use a light therapy lamp every morning, all I do is eat breakfast with it next to me. It makes a huge difference, I know because when I forget to use it or take it when I visit my family, I feel so tired and sad.

It really works for some forms of seasonal affective disorder -- and it's great that you only need 15 minutes every day! I saw an advertisement for a light box alarm clock, and think that's a great way to wake up in the morning, whether you struggle with depression or not. I’m glad light therapy helps you, Lilly.

I use a light box for 15 minutes every day and my symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder are much better. I start at the beginning of October every year, before I start to get tired or sad.
