Hi ruby

So far I dont suffer to much in the Winter , I do get a bit fed up with the dark nights but I cope , but lots of people do like yourself & I can imagine how it gets you down

So I havnt any experience with one of these light boxes , maybe someone that has might come on later , but I have heard them spoken about many times on television programmes & they seem to come very highly recommended & the feed back has always been excellent , I personally have never heard anything negative about them , so I do hope it helps you

Let us no how you find it when you use it , it could help others that are wondering if one could help

Love

I bought one last in March because I really felt that the gloom of a really poor summer 2012 following by a long gloomy winter was beginning to get to me - and I have never felt that way before. I did use the light box for a few weeks but I got it too late in the winter season to really give it a fair trial.

It's recommended that you should use a SAD light box from about now, as the days get shorter. Use daily, for 30 - 45 minutes, usually some time first thing in the morning for most people. Not recommended to use it after about 5pm because the stimulation from the light could mean you don't get off to sleep easily.

I'm feeling OK atm but I may start using mine for 30 mins while reading in bed and having first mugga tea of the day.
