Easysleep Therapy Lights Lamp Sun 10000 Lux for Depression LED UV Free Spectrum Sad Therapy Lights Box with 6 Timer 10 Brightness Levels Memory Function

Still getting used to it. Early days yet. But brillant. Nice and bright.

Fantastic Sun lamp! I suffer from SADS from October onwards. Feeling great after using it! Great size. I use it was a light to do my make up in the morning, it great!! Highly recommend this lamp!

Got this for my son who literally lives in a darkened room for gaming, gets up for work when its dark, then works in a factory with no direct sunlight. He uses it every morning before work & his mood has definitely gotten better. It might not work for everyone, so if you have low moods, please see your doctor first. I have also used this & the light it submits definitely makes you feel like this is direct sunlight on you. It comes with a timer so you dont have to remember to turn it off. Again, not endorsing this as any instant mood changer.

This doesn't have an alarm, but you can time it for 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 mins. I've had expensive sunrise/sadlamp alarms in the past which were just rubbish - you spend all that money and there's some rubbish recording of birds from the 1970s played through speakers on an out-of-tune radio and the sunrise/sunset settings get confused... you get the picture. I suspect the small increments on this very simple quite small sad lamp are so you can use it at work on or a trip in Winter and fit it in in small doses. There's a plastic stand on the back you fold in or out like a picture frame. The lead is short to medium so you have to position it somewhere you won't knock it off and crunch it under your slippers in sleepy mode. but You want to use it first thing in the morning on those grey days we've been having - or dark mornings when you know you have to get up but the body isn't willing. I actually felt some sort of chemical release this morning. I have such trouble in Winter with gloom from lack of light my skepticism is still present about the science of it, but I'm willing to try this (even if it's a placebo effect) alongside walks outdoors, some gym, and restricting caffeine, plus good diet. Reading fiction also reduces anxiety, and banning all social media and internet access first thing means not responding with negative cycles of behaviour at 7am when your cortisol levels are always at their highest (and social media companies know they are, so try to nudge you to 'pick up'). Also good for the mid-afternoon-flag whilst working, but don't forget to drink lots of water throughout the day, as that also fights drowse and aids concentration. In winter your body wants you to hide in a cave, but this will help you stop feeling like you're living in a well during winter months. Two days in, and it's already helping. A padded case would have been good - this company should provide them, for portability. It's also important that you position it high but angled away from your eyes - direct light will likely cause eye-strain. It's also helpful for ambient light on video calls. You might want one that does warmer light for that - but this is meant to simulate cool morning light, which is what research shows we're after. Can i also recommend a high-dose Vitamin D from a local supermarket, and all the other things you know you should be doing?

This lamp has been my absolute saving grace this past winter. I suffer with severe depression in the winter but this lamp has helped me so much. Definitely worth buying.

Absolutely brilliant and it is still working after a year. It has made such a difference to my energy levels during dark Winter days and is portable.

Works well as a ordinary lamp on the low brightness setting and is super bright on the 'therapy' setting. Simple to use and helps me to get out of bed feeling positive on dull winter mornings.

So being the lucky soul that I am, I suffer with seasonal effective disorder at the beginning of each autumn. During September and October I feel very tired and rundown and could honestly fall asleep any time I close my eyes. Doesn’t matter how much sleep I get or how active I am in the day; I’m always struggling to stay awake. This little lamp was actually quite cheap compared to some other options so I wasn’t convinced of how good it would be but wow, it has made a difference. When you turn it on, it automatically comes on for 30 minutes so I just angle it at my Work desk in the morning and let it work through its time while I work. There is the option to turn it up to brighter levels which would be great if you were maybe putting it on a wall in a room but personally in my face it’s far too bright and makes my eyes actually ache. So I just press the on button and use the setting that automatically kicks in. I find using that every morning for 30 minutes when I’m working really helps with the S.A.D and has made me a lot less tired and less likely to fall asleep any time I’ve sat down!
