That’s important news because Seasonal Affect Disorder (SAD) is a serious condition that affects hundreds of thousands of Americans. The disorder is marked by depression, lethargy and fatigue, and it often occurs during fall and winter. Even if you’re not a SAD sufferer, being deprived of natural sunlight can still take a toll on your mood. One waydoctors suggest people cope with the seasonal blues is with a full-color spectrum light. Devices such as Lighten Up II and Lighten Up Plusprovide relief by producing continuous light intensity, which delivers a spectrum of simulated sunlight—but without harmful ultraviolet rays.
