It’s been a grey winter, and looking to stay that way. I work remote, so I was thinking of getting an SAD light. But I remember from years ago when I had one (and worked in an office) that if I put it next to my monitor it gave me a headache and made my monitor hard to see. Those of you using SAD lights, where do you put them, how long do you use them per day and all that?
Get the glasses and only use them 2x MAXIMUM (like no more than 30 mins) right as you wake up or want to wake up.
I strongly advise against using them any other time of the day or as an “energy boost”, they should be confined to use when you want to wake up to entrain your circadian rhythms, otherwise just go for a walk. They really shouldn’t have anything to do with working or using other screens. Make sure the surrounding ambient light is decent to avoid strain
When I say the glasses, make sure its white. The jury seems to be out on whether intense blue light has association with potential macular degeneration which is obviously worrisome
