It's pretty affordable (edit: at least they used to be)! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMm4TXXTpIg" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMm4TXXTpIg</a> SugarplumsMom on "Do you use light therapy in the winter months?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-light-therapy-in-the-winter-months#post-1165984 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 11:47:09 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1165984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm thinking of getting one. It's getting dark earlier and earlier! Soon it'll be dark when I wake up and dark before DH gets home from work!

I want to think it did, but I didn't notice anything drastic. pelikila on "Do you use light therapy in the winter months?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-light-therapy-in-the-winter-months#post-1165812 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 10:48:07 +0000 pelikila 1165812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't but both my mom and sister get depressed if they don't use theirs.

Once daylight savings hit, the days will be soooo short. And our winters are incredibly long!! yin on "Do you use light therapy in the winter months?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-light-therapy-in-the-winter-months#post-1165713 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 10:25:32 +0000 yin 1165713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <a href="http://ohjoy.blogs.com/my_weblog/2013/10/why-i-need-to-live-in-the-sunshine.html" rel="nofollow">http://ohjoy.blogs.com/my_weblog/2013/10/why-i-need-to-live-in-the-sunshine.html</a> Never tried it before but kind of convinced I need one in the winter. indi on "Do you use light therapy in the winter months?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-light-therapy-in-the-winter-months#post-1165699 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 10:20:56 +0000 indi 1165699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Following, too. These MN winters get loooooong. I love to open my curtain and get the light in the morning before I get out of bed, but pretty soon there won't be any light in the morning...or after I get out of work. Meh. :-( mrsjyw on "Do you use light therapy in the winter months?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-light-therapy-in-the-winter-months#post-1165675 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 10:15:47 +0000 mrsjyw 1165675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Let me know how it works, I'd totally invest in one of these based on recommendations!!! MI winters are just too dreary sometimes!

Do you guys use it for those dark winter days? Did you notice a difference?
