Bright light entering the eyes changes the brain chemistry and stops the production of melatonin, the chemical that makes us drowsy at night. Seasonal changes, especially in late Autumn and Winter with reduced sunlight, may create SAD. Some symptoms of SAD are: excessive tiredness, weight gain, social withdrawal, depressed mood, tendency to oversleep, irritability, difficulty in concentrating and decreased libido. Research has shown that by supplementing your exposure to daylight for 1-2 hours a day, it can combat the effects of SAD, jet lag, Bulimia Nervosa, fatigue and other forms of depression. The medically approved Lifemax SAD Therapy Light introduces near daylight into your indoor area while you work or relax and can relieve these symptoms.
