I wait for somebody to package that in a flashlight and buy the sucker. I don't need to show the lighthouse who's boss, but it's good to know I could if I wanted too (not really, another stupid joke)

I'm just not sure I want to spend the money on another gadget. I have one of those light alarm clocks that gradually gets brighter. I know it's not the same though.

You set it off to your side, or up top, whichever works...You get the light that way, but you should never stare directly at it. I have mine to the left of my computer screen so I can have some morning light while reading the newspapers & PC. I've been told that using them late in the day, or too much can get you too ramped up.

Here are some examples of light boxes & their prices:

If I could get hypo from a light box, I’d buy five of them.

But I’m not a believer.

I thought it crap too, but then I had a clip-on light that I wore on a hat for a week in the winter once. It made a huge difference. Leaving it on at night made me not sleep much.
Dang forgot to get my vitamin D on the way home
