I'm not sure which category this fits into. I bought a goLite at Costco yesterday. It is a light therapy box that uses blue LEDs.
So I did my first session this morning. Pretty intense light. I was very awake after the 30 minutes. Has anyone else used light therapy?

I haven't, but I'd love to. My pdoc and I have been talking about it for years, but I never had that much money in one place at one time. When I saw him this week he said he would call a company that makes them and see if he could get them to send him one as a "demo," just so I could see if it did any good.
I'll be interested in hearing others' experiences. Candy |

I use it, at times with a Go-lite and at times with a full-spectrum light. It just depends on whether I feel like getting out of bed for the 30 minutes or not. I don't think that using both types at various times matters, but I'm not sure. I definitely can tell a difference on my sleep/wake cycle when I am diligent about using it.
With the Go-lite, I would get headaches at first, so I tapered up with the time and intensity. Hope it's helpful for you. gg
