This is from the site Up in Alaska. And it's so true. I got my SAD light this weekend to see if it would help my blah mood. And actually, the fact that I had to get out my SAD light in July made me feel worse. I miss Fairbanks.

So what exactly is a SAD light compared to just regular lights? And does it help?
SAD stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder and it is caused by lack of sun light. A SAD light has the same light spectrum as the sun (or something like that) and sitting in front of it for 15-30 minutes a day is suppose to help lift your mood. I don't know if it really works or not, it makes me feel a little better. I'm surprised you haven't heard about it since you live in Minnesota. It gets pretty dark down there in the winter too, doesn't it?
Yeah, but only about 5 hours earlier at the most. In the winter it will start to get dark around 5 p.m., which isn't really enough of a problem to cause any kind of seasonal depression.
