DIA Naturebright Light Therapy

The Winter months are on their way which means shorter days, longer nights and for some people, especially those living in northern climates, the emergence of depressive symptoms, or SAD.  SAD is the abbreviation for Seasonal Affective Disorder which is a mood disorder that is commonly known as "winter blues." People who are afflicted with SAD often have normal health throughout most of the year but may experience symptoms such as a lack of energy, depression and mood swings with the onset of winter.

SAD was first recognized and named in the early 1980's by doctors at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).  Although skeptics initially doubted their ideas, Seasonal Affective Disorder has become a widely recognized condition.  One of the most effective therapies proven to help alleviate Seasonal Affective Disorder is bright or "full spectrum" light therapy.

While the early bright light therapy products were bulky and somewhat cumbersome to use, the DIA Naturebright Day-Light Sky model is contemporary, smaller and more discreet for home or office.  The Day-Light Sky light features adjustable heights that can be used for therapeutic use or for everyday task lighting which adds versatility and function for the user.  The two-light setting provides the 10,000 LUX recommended by experts for maximum therapeutic benefit, while the one-light setting provides a comfortable, convenient task lighting.
