Dealing with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

Lack of sunlight can also be a problem, depending on where you live. We need at least 15 minutes of sunlight per day to generate brain chemicals like serotonin and melotonin (both of which affect sleep and overall well-being). It's easy to become depressed in rainy/cold climates. Seattle has one of the highest suicide rates in the country because of this.

However, the fix is fairly simple – purchase a full-spectrum light.

Full-spectrum lights mimic the light spectrum of the sun's rays. Exposure to them has the same basic biochemical effect as being out in the sun. They are available over the internet, and in many hardware stores.

If you live in a sunlight-deprived environment, make the investment. It will only cost you a few dollars. Because of our more sensitive brain chemistry, it can be an essential purchase for a hunter-type. Make it a priority to get one before winter rolls around. In the midst of brain fog or depression, it can be difficult to handle a task like “track down a full-spectrum bulb.” Be proactive.
