In reply to anyone feel anything different since daylight...., posted by obsidian on November 11, 2008, at 17:48:20
I have been bothered by the shortened daylight hours all my life - not officially diagnosed with SAD, but my pdoc who has known me for 4 years, decided it was time to try a light box.
I have been using the light box for about 6 weeks and I have noticed a subtle but definite improvement in mood and also sleep. I am an insomniac for several years (I blame it on benzo tolerance, a different issue), but since i have used the light box my sleeping time has also improved.
One good thing, my psychiatrist fought my insurance company to cover the cost of the light box and they did!
