Bright light treatment

Thanks to a link from Doug Klippert, I found this article about something called “Bright Light Therapy” which can be used to effectively change the timing of the body clock.

“Probably the greatest use of bright light therapy is for the treatment of winter depression, especially in very northern countries which have little sunlight in the winter months. These sufferers appear to have delayed body clocks and benefit most from morning light therapy.”

An interesting concept. Hopefully it can provide some relief to all those who suffer from SAD in the near-future!
