We’re now in the winter trenches and there’s a good chance you’ll be working well after dark these days, especially if you live in a part of the country where the sun goes down very early. If you’re feeling particularly depressed this time of year, you’re not alone – Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, is an actual condition marked by a pattern of depressive episodes that correspond to the change of seasons. Fortunately, there is something you can do to combat it: light therapy, through light therapy or SAD lamps.
Consistent use of a SAD lamp during daily sessions of 10 to 30 minutes can dramatically improve your mood, as well as your energy level and the quality of your sleep depending on Mayo Clinic. Note that it is important to recognize that an SAD lamp is not a substitute for any treatment plan or medication. Talk to your healthcare professional to make sure you have an accurate diagnosis and are not struggling with an illness that may require different and more effective treatment. SAD lamps can also be harmful if you have retinal disease, so make sure your eye health is optimal before using one as well.
If your supplier recommends an SAD lamp, there are many options available on the market to suit most budgets. Experts recommend looking for one that provides around 10,000 lux of light, AKA the measure of light that indicates its intensity, at eye level. Read on to discover our selection of the most versatile, compact and aesthetic SAD lights to get you through the winter season.
