How Can Light Therapy and SAD Lighting help ?

Research in the USA and UK has shown that SAD sufferers responded, often quite dramatically, to bright light therapy. Users of a good quality SAD light box have seen a significant turnaround in mood and wellbeing.

Its important that any SAD light box should have a light level of more than 2,500 lux, the level that changes the chemical balance in the brain. The exposure to bright light therapy from a SAD light box helps reverse the process, and makes the brain think that it has summer time levels of light which helps reduce SAD disorder and improve wellbeing.

Unfortunately many cheaper imported lights have flooded the UK and do not meet this important 2500 lux minimum light level.

More Information on Seasonal Affective Disorder

Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD is said to have a lot in common with the hibernation cycle of animals and research confirms it is started by a response to decreasing light levels which cover the autumn and winter seasons. Hence the term winter blues.

Decreasing light causes an increase in Melatonin the hormone that makes us sleepy at night and a drop in Serotonin, the drop of which may trigger depression. Seasonal Affective Disorder is now officially recognised by Doctors and is said to effect around 2 million people in the UK.
