Buy A SAD Sun Lamp - Seasonal Affective Disorder Lamp

61

By Patti Ann

For those of you who dread seeing winter arrive and are looking to buy a SAD sun lamp, we offer a variety of discounted Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) lamp choices.

These full spectrum lights are designed to cure the symptoms (see below) of Seasonal Affective Disorder which is caused by underexposure to sunlight. Although it is not known why SAD affects only some people, light therapy has been shown to help about eight-five percent of people who suffer with this disorder.

Light therapy is performed by being in close vicinity to a specifically designed light which emits the same spectrum of light that the sun does. You simply sit by the SAD sun lamp for one to four hours so that your body absorbs the artificial sun from the lamp.

How To Use A SAD Sun Lamp

SAD sun lamps vary in intensity, so make sure you read the instructions to determine the correct amount of light that you need.

You can put the sun lamp on your desk or by your living room chair. You can read and work as normal. You should sit about two to three feet away from the lamp and it should be placed on a fairly high surface so that the lamp can shine directly into your eyes.

Sunglasses should not be worn during light therapy so that the light to the retina is not blocked. Sun lamp therapy is perfectly safe and is a blessing for those suffering with SAD.

You should notice results within about four days.


Symptoms Of Seasonal Affective Disorder

The most common symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder are:

Depression
Moodiness
Increased appetite
Increased need for sleep
Loss of interest in sex
Irritability
Hopelessness
Anxiety

If you find that you are plagued with these symptoms, especially from October through April, then you most likely have SAD. A seasonal affective disorder lamp could help alleviate these problems and help you get back to normal.

Great hub, I discovered that I suffered the symptoms of SAD about 3 years ago. I purchased a lamp 2 years ago, and have not had the symptoms since. I've recommended the lamp treatments to all my family and friends. :)
