SAD (Seasonal affective disorder) or winter depression is a widespread condition that results in feelings of depression over the winter months. Sufferers are affected at the same time every year, feeling depressed during the autumn and winter and then coming out of it as spring approaches. SAD is believed to be related to the availability of sunlight, which is less abundant in winter. Symptoms vary but generally include a propensity to sleep longer, a noticeable lack of energy, and depression. Sufferers also tend to crave sugary, sweet foods and carbohydrates and are more likely to gain weight during this time.

Light therapy is one of the most effective treatments for seasonal affective disorder and this involves being exposed to specially manufactured lights or light boxes for a number of hours every day during the autumn and winter months to alleviate feelings of depression.

The NatureBright PER3 Deluxe Light Therapy Lamp offers an ideal solution to those working in an office environment. It works in the same way as a regular reading light but with the added bonus of light therapy, so you can literally deal with SAD while you work or read, allowing you to carry on with your daily activities. There is an LED light and the unit also features a clock and an alarm function, making it a very compact light with plenty of added features.

The LED light should help to ease feelings of depression and drowsiness and should provide you with a renewed energy and sense of well being. One of the main symptoms of SAD is disturbed sleep and the need for extra sleep. The NatureBright Therapy Lamp includes a programmable dawn and dusk simulator, which have been created specifically to encourage you to wake up and go to sleep naturally and easily.

This lamp should be the choice for you if you work from home, or in an office all day. It combines the benefits of light therapy with a very functional design that is perfect for the office. It is also ideal as a bedside light, or reading light, as it can be angled to suit your particular requirements and it also features an alarm clock. Buy this SAD light online to save.
