Benefits of Natural Light
The TL50 Daylight Lamp provides exceptionally bright and even illumination that may easily compensate for the effects of a lack of light during these cold, dark winter months. Light therapy has proven itself to be successful in fighting the symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), such as low mood, lack of energy, insomnia and listlessness.
What is Seasonal Affective Disorder? (SAD)
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a form of depression caused by lack of sunlight in the winter months. Medical professionals have posited that prevents a part of the brain called the hypothalamus from working properly, which can result in:
- Increased melatonin production: melatonin is a hormone that controls sleep, so increased production leads to feelings of fatigue and lethargy
- Reduced serotonin production: serotonin is a hormone that affects mood, so decreased production has been linked to feelings of depression
- Interrupted body clock (circadian rhythm): as sunlight is used by the body to time certain functions, lack of sunlight can be disruptive to healthy function
What Are the Symptoms of SAD?
SAD is often recognised for a general low mood in the winter months, which is why it is also known as winter depression. However there are more specific symptoms that can help you identify SAD. These include but are not limited to:
- Sadness
- Lack of pleasure or enthusiasm
- Irritability

- Being quicker to cry

- Increased appetite leading to weight gain
