Winter Blues &
Bright Light
We all feel that occasional twinge of moodiness or fatigue when deprived of our daily dose of healthy sunshine. The “Winter Blahs” are not uncommon in North America with harsh winters, dreary days and long dark nights. For some people (about 4 million North Americans) the effects can be extreme and even disruptive to their work and lifestyle. Increased sleep, irritability, weight gain, inability to concentrate and other depression related symptoms may be the result of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and should be discussed with your family doctor.
Here is the good news… simple home therapy with a bright light box may help you to fight back the winter with revitalized energy, alertness and enhanced moods… and without medication! Research has been conducted around the world for about 20 years studying the benefits of bright light therapy. Check with your doctor before starting any new health routine
