Can a Light Brighten Your Winter Blues?

In the winter, we tend to spend much less time outside. Lack of sunlight can affect your mood, productivity, and overall well-being.

In the summer the sun rises before 6 am. It made it so much easier to wake up in the morning. Now we don't get that beautiful light until around 7 am. Welcome to winter!

If you find it difficult to get up in the morning when it is so dark outside, check out this Wake Up Light Sunrise Alarm Clock*.

Katie explains, “My brain totally responds to the way the light functions.
The morning alarm is so gentle and peaceful (you can completely control the noise and brightness settings). I wake up much more naturally rather than to the blaring honk or passive aggressive chiming of a traditional alarm.”

If you are looking for something to help you during the day, Circadian Optics has a series of light therapy lamps that are free of unwanted UV rays. This therapy light lamp* provides the recommended 10,000 LUX of brightness to help the winter blues, regulate sleep, improve focus, boost energy and make us feel less sad. The light therapy lamp is designed to mimic the colors of daylight.

Check out the reviews from these products and see what people are saying. Maybe one of them will be that perfect gift for someone who needs a little light in their life!
