Happy light
This has been a great purchase for me. I live in Illinois and was not used to the gray winter days (I'm from Colorado and there is at least 300 days of sunshine a year). Last winter I was depressed, gained weight, and never had any energy. Since I've been using the happy light I have experienced alertness, calmness, and my sleep patterns have become more regular, just like the advertisement said! I use it to help me wake up in the morning.  I'm not sure if it's just a placebo effect or what but this light seems to be working!<br /><br />Only thing, I can't help feeling like I've been ripped off. $100? If I hadn't been so desperate for something to help with SAD I definitely would have shopped around a little more for a reasonably priced product (although this was one of the cheapest I found). Also, I also don't like that I have to order from Verilux to get replacement bulbs. At $25 a piece this is pretty pricey. However, I tell myself that it's a natural solution and it beats being depressed and mopey all the time. It's also healthier than anti-depressants.
