On the January 5th edition of The Martha Stewart Show, the Verilux® HappyLight® was highlighted as one of the five easy steps to a happy winter.
If you suffer from a lack of energy, feel depressed and find your motivation waning, you may be suffering from the Winter Blues. The Happy Light® Deluxe Supplemental Light System effectively addresses the Winter Blues by activating your natural mood enhancers with up to 10,000 LUX of Natural Spectrum® daylight to increase energy levels and lift your spirits. The Happy Light® provides the maximum light therapy brightness recommended by the National Institute of Health so you get an entire dose of "sunshine" in just 30 minutes. The original Verilux HappyLight® Deluxe delivers a full 10,000 LUX Full Spectrum light therapy that:
Activates your natural mood enhancers
Activated "daylight response" that stimulates thinking and energy.
Can be hung on a wall or set on a table or counter for your morning sunshine bath.
Delivers No harmful UV rays.
Research Findings:
While correct diagnosis of SAD has become more commonplace, treatment is the area where doctors and SAD sufferers need more education. In the past, doctors have been quick to prescribe an anti-depressant when a patient mentioned being “depressed”. While drugs can sometimes be effective treating depression, light therapy is the natural, side-effect free alternative to anti-depressant pills.

I am a night nurse and have been for 10 years. I have not been happy at times and had no enthusiasm for anything, yet my life is uncomplicated and peaceful compared to others. I don't believe in taking pills unless absolutely necessary and just thought it was something I had to live with. It took about 10 days of using the HappyLight, but one day I just felt like the weight of the world had lifted from my shoulders. Sometimes I feel so happy that tears come to my eyes with gratitude. Thank you so much. I feel like I have my life back.

Our challenged son has been using the HappyLight to lighten the room
while reading, doing school work, etc and it really seams to be having
a positive effect on him. With his eyes tending to cross he isn't
complaining about his eyes being tired and his mood is improved.

I have fought severe chronic depression for over twenty years and this
is the one and only thing I have found that has helped me feel better
in the winter or anytime I start to get depressed.
I grew up in Ohio/Michigan/Indiana and remember feeling "badly" even at
the age of 12, beginning each November and lasting until spring, when
the days grew longer and the sun reappeared.
I moved to Florida many years ago, but still suffer in the winter, when
the weather becomes damp and chilly and overcast for days on end. My
therapist suggested I purchase a S.A.D. lamp, and I am so very glad I
did!
I am grateful I made the decision to purchase this particular lamp
because it is large enough to provide light to my head down to my
chest, even though the cost was a bit more. My mental well-being is
worth any price. As the documentation that came with the lamp stated, I
DID begin to feel better in JUST ONE WEEK. Truly amazing.
I may not need the lamp in the summer when the weather here is warm and
sunny every day, but if I do, I am glad I have it.
