I did use it a few times around 4pm-5pm where I had thought perhaps it may have helped, but I was staying up later which didn't work for me.
I had some what forgotten about the light, if I am honest . But now I'm wondering if I should give it another shot since I my mood has dropped even more than a few months ago.
I started with 10minutes, but most light sessions were 30 minutes.
I had gotten it in hopes of a "more natural " remedy... Years ago in the winter I did my first (and so far last) tanning beds and felt so up lifted for a day, I had hoped the "happy lamp" would assist.

I used to do tanning beds every summer, for a couple of years. Of course, I wore the little eye goggles during a session, but I felt that the tanning bed light and warmth very much boosted my mood. Supposedly, the light box light is somehow the same as tanning bed light.
