I got one of those light things for free and my desk needed additional illumination, so I figured I might as well kill two birds with one lightbox.
I didn't notice any big difference. Though I have had people tell me they've worked for them. But then, placebos work, too.
Sunshine noticeably works and very quickly, even through a windshield. At least for me.

Hiya BetterMost friends.
Happy Hump day to you all!
;D
I have another staycation coming up in two weeks, I'm looking forward to them. ;D It will be nice to not have to wake up for work.
I had the maintenance man at my apartment today. In my bedroom I have two closets, and they have the bi-fold door that look like this.
The bracket in the bottom right corner was coming loose, and any time I opened the door, it would come off of the track at the top. In addition to this, in my bathroom, my shower has a window on it. The grout that meets where tiles on the window match up to the tiles on the wall was cracked, and I was able to push them into the wall. I wasn't sure if water was getting behind them, so I had the maintenance man fix it before it caused bad damage.
Managed to get through the hurricane with no major issues. Power flickered on and off a few times, but it never went off completely, so I consider myself lucky. There are people who are without power and may not have it restored until Sunday!
:o

I first noticed in college that I got depressed in winter. To the extent I connected it with the season, I assumed it had to do with cold. Nobody was talking about SAD back then.
Then I moved to New Orleans and never even thought about it or noticed it. Again, I might have thought the nice winter temperatures were the reason the depression wasn't hitting me. But by the time I came back to Minnesota, SAD was a pretty familiar concept and I realized that was probably a factor. I noticed if I went outside in early afternoon on a really sunny day I'd immediately feel better, even if it was cold and I was inside my car (under the moon roof).

I must be honest, I don't get how those work. I mean, I get that they provide light, but I thought that part of SAD was that is was caused by the lack of natural sunlight, so how does a light box help since it's artificial light?

Apparently the brain doesn't care if it's natural or artificial. It just has to be bright, typically 10,000 lux (which is very bright).
