Product Description
Animals react to the changing seasons with changes in mood, metabolism and behaviour and human beings are just the same. Most people find they eat and sleep slightly more in winter and dislike the dark mornings and short days. For some, however, symptoms are severe enough to disrupt their lives and to cause considerable distress. These people are suffering from SAD.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of winter depression affecting up to 2 million people in the UK.
Symptoms include Depression, Anxiety, Loss of Libido, Sleep Disturbances, Overeating and usually occurs between September and March.
Light therapy has been proved effective in over 90% of cases.
A night light feature has also been included and the night light is user adjustable.
A security feature that randomly turns the light full on and off between the times of 7:00pm and 9:00am can be set to operate when you are away from home.
12 or 24 hour clock display - you choose.
Power fail backup is provided on all functions for short power cuts or if the Sunrise System is inadvertently disconnected for a short time.
Easy to read text display shows time and date.
The day of the week and Leap years are automatically calculated.
Option to select a language (English, French, German, Spanish and Swedish).
LCD contrast and backlight adjustment.
Low power, energy efficient - 10 watts when the light is at maximum*Please note that our prices for lightboxes do NOT include VAT.

I've had SAD in varying degrees for the past 17 years, medication didn't help so I've been doing my best to manage it with fresh air and exercise ever since. This year was a stinker - within 4 weeks of the clocks changing I was permanently exhausted, irritable, constantly on the brink of tears and full of self loathing. Even having a shower was an effort! I bought this in desperation struggling to manage to get to work (never mind acheive anything when I was there). It's the best deecision I've made in a long time! Within 4 days I felt so much better, that drained feeling had left and I was up for getting off my bum, going out and doing things. It also gave me back the ability to concentrate, I wish I'd had it when I was a student.
That said, it doen't work miracles - I'm still more tired than in the summer but at least I can function like a human being until the spring. The sunrise is a nice gimmick but it's all about the light box for me, do experiment though as it will keep you up at night if you "overdose." And do keep using it, I stopped for a bit because I felt better and was short of time - don't! Find out how long's best for you (30 - 40 mins for me) and make time, it'll transform your winter.

I used to have a sunrise alarm clock that I gave away to a friend when I moved overseas a few years ago to sunnier isles. I was looking to buy a new one now that I have moved back to face yet another dreary and gloomy UK winter. Also on my shopping list was a bedside reading lamp and a SAD lamp. I'm very glad to have found this 2 in 1 Lightbox instead of having to purchase 3 separate items! It really does wake you up gently in the mornings and is helping me feel more energetic when I switch it on for half an hour at around 4:00pm when the sky is getting dark and I start finding myself just wanting to lie down and hide under the covers.
One of the cons is that there is only one option for the alarm sound. My previous sunrise clock allowed you to choose birds tweeting, a gentle stream flowing, a shrill blast, etc. I find that the light on this alarm has been enough to wake me up without any sound though as it is indeed quite bright.

This is a review by someone who's got 30 years of insomnia under control. Mostly.
SAD is a different thing and I can't speak for its victims, but if you've got insomnia, this can help... can not will because it'll only help with one aspect.
Before this light, I could lie awake till 5 am, finally doze off and then when the alarm went at 7, be so useless I could literally fall asleep halfway down the stairs to the kitchen... Had to keep alarms outside my bedroom door as if they were inside, I'd just slump and fall asleep on the floor/bed/wherever..
I still get insomnia (which the ****ing NHS will never, and I mean NEVER take seriously), but at least I can get up in the mornings... the gradual fade in of the light means I actually wake up, rather than dragging just that element of consciousness necessary for breaking a mechanical device out from under its stone, and going back to sleep/wandering off to make tea whilst feeling like a type B personality on a Valium overdose. Wake feeling ok, then 20 mins staring at it to get used to being awake. Then the day can start.
And if I get up better... there's a fairly good chance I'll get to sleep better. Not 100%, but 50% is pretty good.. after 30 years.
Essentially, GET IT.. if it's appropriate to your condition. Or if you just want to wake up without the screeching alarm.
right, back to bed, it's nearly 10 a.m.
