No Need to Feel SAD
Nov 10, 2020
Sometimes when winter kicks in, so do the winter blues.
Shorter days, less sunlight, and colder temperatures can affect our daily moods and the nerve centers in our brain. This can result in a variety of side effects that leave us feeling lethargic, withdrawn, and out of sorts. Symptoms include:
- feelings of sadness or despondency
- changes in sleeping patterns
- lack of energy or motivation
- irritability
- difficulty concentrating
- excess fatigue
If you have ever felt this way when the seasons change, you’re not alone. According to mental health resources, approximately 3%-5% of North Americans experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). One of the most effective, non-medicinal remedies for SAD is light therapy. Scientists and medical professionals believe that increased daily exposure to high-intensity light helps alleviate seasonal depression and its side effects. The Luxor Lamp was specially designed for light therapy, casting bright, evenly dispersed non-UV light without flickering or humming. It delivers 10,000 LUX (units of illumination) at up to 12 inches, which is the recommended measure for treating SAD. It is constructed with a white stainless steel base and frame, and a sliding diffuser screen for convenient bulb changes. The Luxor’s unique pyramid shape adds visual interest to your desk or decor. Pyramids have long held a special significance in healing and spiritual communities, promoting health and well-being. Its soft glow will surround you with warmth and light during the coldest, darkest days of the year. With Covid restrictions in place this year, Winter 2020/2021 could leave us all in need of a little extra brightness. Studies have shown that 30 minutes to two hours of light therapy can be as effective as anti-depressant medication. Consider giving yourself a boost!
