It’s been a grey winter, and looking to stay that way. I work remote, so I was thinking of getting an SAD light. But I remember from years ago when I had one (and worked in an office) that if I put it next to my monitor it gave me a headache and made my monitor hard to see. Those of you using SAD lights, where do you put them, how long do you use them per day and all that?

    I have the same one, but I thought you were only supposed to use it for like 30 minutes at a time. I guess I’m using it wrong.

      Just a word of caution for anyone with bipolar, using it for longer than recommended can trigger mania.

      I think it is advertised as 30 minutes is all you need. But it is more or less simulating sunshine. And you can have more than 30 minutes of that so…
