I'm convinced I wasn't made for winter, period. I could live the rest of my life quite blissfully without any snow, or cold, or dreary overcast days. For several years I have noticed I truly don't feel like myself during the winter months. My overall energy is down, I tend to find decent amounts of sleep less refreshing, and I find myself more snappy and less joyful about the world around me, even with those closest and dearest to me. Not a good thing.
I had heard and read about light therapy, but I was sceptical. Then this winter proved to be exceptionally dark and dismal, even as far as winters go (Montreal winters can be cold, and very snowy, but generally sunny), so I started to research it more seriously.
Finally I decided I had nothing to lose. It seemed plenty of people had found it useful, at worst others found it entirely useless, and I had scouted out a decently priced light, that I could return for a full refund within 30 days. Perfect.
I use mine for two 15 minute sessions right after I wake up, and within two days I noticed an INCREDIBLE difference with my ability to wake up and feel refreshed in the morning, my energy during the day, and my mood. Keep in mind, I was honestly convinced I would give it a try for a couple of weeks, and then I'd be giving it right back. Instead, I LOVE it!!! This product has changed my life for the better, and I think that is worth sharing.
Happy summer sunshine :)
Please keep in mind that I'm writing about my experience with this is an individual, not was a health care professional. If you think you are suffering from more serious symptoms related to the "winter blues" (i.e.. seasonal affective disorder), I strongly recommend you seek professional help.
