does anyone deal with SAD syndrome. The seasonal affective disorder that in caused mainly by winter and darkness? how do you cope? Would like to help my friend with this.
My former husband was very badly effected by this and I bought this amazing alarm clock and can I say it helped 100 % it might seem expensive but it’s worth every penny.
In a nutshell the light gradually comes on before the alarm goes off and so your gently woken and you wake up naturally - you need to sleep in a very darkened room - I bought black out blinds - it also helps with your body clock .......

Hope this helps but everyone I have recommended this to has been very grateful as it made a huge difference
I probably do, as it seems to affect the fibromyalgia more in my case, winter is a very bad time for me so I stock up on foods that contain more Vitamin D, which we need and is absorbed through the eye..I have heard that heat lamps are also helpful as long as one is careful with it..hope this helps a little.
I struggle with it. Last year I put the lamp beside my bed on a timer so that it was already on when I woke up, so that I was waking up to light instead of dark. Helped a little. I’ve been taking Vitamin D for the past 10 months or so and I think that has helped more than anything else I’ve ever tried.

Marya, Vit D is absorbed thru the skin from sunshine. And the paler your skin, the less you absorb.

Vicki, I looked at those alarm clocks like you were talking about and then decided a timer from the hardware store was MUCH more in my budget.
Getting a few of those “natural sunlight” type lightbulbs helps too. Those aren’t cheap either, but they help.

I remember someone mentioning sun lamps were good, spend like an hour a day under one.
i don’t know if i do or not, but i know because of my bone problems i sleep alot in the winter time and i hurt so bad because of the cold weather that i hibernate like a bear... i need quiet, dark, and warmth..
My doc put me on Vit D3 drops not for the SAD syndrome, but for it’s healing benefits. I have heard that lack of Vit D3 is a reason for SAD. The sun’s further away in winter and it is weaker so we absorb less of it. The day light spectrum lights in my house works for me and my plants during the winter. They cost more but are worth it, along with the Vit D3.

She may want to try some Ageless Actives from Isagenix. It's like getting 4 hrs in direct sunlight in just one capsule. I've included a video that talks a little more about it, although it's more focus on Antiaging...I love this! I also love that Isagenix uses the highest quality of everything in there products. The coQ10 and calcium are 800 x's more absorbable & the Resveratrol benefits are like having 40 glasses of wine. Over all, just an amazing product!

You are a great friend to want to help your friend out! P.S. GREAT for people with Autoimmune & Blood Sugar challenges
thanks all for the tips!!! I was wondering if tanning beds had any value.
It think it’s more to sitting in the light and getting the impact tanning wouldn’t work as it’s UV
