Seasonal Affective Disorder (“SAD”) manifests itself mainly during the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere countries, with symptoms including depression, tiredness and drowsiness. It is sometimes referred to as “winter blues”.

It is thought to be related to a lack of natural light, low serotonin production and unbalanced internal clock (circadian rhythm) in the winter months. All ages and both sexes are affected, but it seems more prevalent among men between 16 to 30 years of age.

The NHS recommends the following:

  • lifestyle measures – including getting as much natural sunlight as possible, exercising regularly and managing your stress levels.
  • light therapy – use of special lamps, to mimic exposure to sunlight.
  • talking therapies – such as CBT or counselling.

I will also include:

  • Spend time in uncontaminated Nature.
  • Consider supplementing with vitamin D3.
  • Eat your omegas from oily fish, seeds and nuts, or take an omega 3 supplement.
  • Eat a well balanced, mainly, plant-based diet.
  • Engage in activities you love doing.

This SAD therapy Lamp provides a broad spectrum of strong light, up to 10,000 LUX. It stimulates all the eye’s Photoreceptors, Cones, rods, and melanopsin, which may be at the core of its effectiveness against SAD.

Researchers at the National Institute of Health demonstrated that white light, in a range of 2,500 to 10,000 LUX (a measurement of light intensity), helped to reverse the symptoms of Winter Blues.

It is not necessary to sit in front of the lamp continuously. You can divide the time into several mini sessions. Continue to use the daylight lamp daily to feel an improvement in your mood and activity level.

When you are feeling sluggish and lethargic, spend more time with the light or increase light intensity. On the contrary, if you feel a sort of edginess, turn off the unit or reduce its intensity.

You do not have to look directly into this SAD therapy Lamp, but simply have it beside you.

It is simple to use, and it features  5 brightness levels, multiple colour temperatures (daylight, natural and warm light), timer settings. It is small and slim and can even be operated with a USB power bank.

Dimensions 24 x 15 x 2cm
