I have a Verilux Happy Light. It's only 5000 LUX, but it was also only $40 or so. I have it on a timer so that it turns on when I'm trying to wake up. Then I sit in bed and eat my breakfast sitting right next to it. I also take a multivitamin (women specific, so it has extra iron) and fish oil, except I caved and take fish oil gummies. I got so sick of taking the capsules in addition to my other medications.

That sounds like a good idea. I am thinking of buying one off of amazon. I found I think a 10000 LUX for 90. It was 50% off so. I think I need to start taking my iron pills again to give myself more energy. Thanks for the response
