Do SAD lamps work better than bulbs for regular lamps?

The specialized bulbs are rather expensive. What you need is "full spectrum" lights which are not that expensive. Try those before dropping a lot of money on the SAD ones.

I have six 75-Watt Incandescent light bulbs in my room, which light up the room and really do a lot to help cheer me up during the dark winter months.

I tried several different types of CFL bulbs - but for some reason they didn't seem to work nearly as well. I did a Google search on "CFL Depression", and there are a lot of articles talking about problems with them and depression.

For the amount of money the "retail" SAD lights cost, I can get all of the regular light bulbs I can use =)

You might try using the light bulbs first, and if they don't work maybe try medications. The light bulbs will cost a LOT less than medication!!

Best of luck to you =)

When you have SAD, You basically need to be by light.. period.

What makes the "SAD" Light bulb special is it has rays like the sun, and it confuses the body to think its sun light rather than just light.

You can try a regular light bulb, but make sure you're in a well lit room. (:

If that doesn't help than you need the special light bulb.

Hope this helps :)

An MRI easiest shows the strategies wave activity of the strategies area it does not unquestionably instruct how the strategies thinks or does issues. even nevertheless theory does come from the strategies and nueral impluses the technological wisdom of it somewhat is constrained. The strategies come from the strategies and that's authentic, even nevertheless no one could be conscious those strategies being created and manifested interior the strategies. An MRI won't be able to show that. it may in all likelihood often in basic terms instruct the subject energetic in a strategies on an analogous time as doing an challenge or curious approximately utilizing something. i think of the colour shows purple or Blue.
