Light boxes can be very effective for people suffering from SAD or depression, but also even for those without it generally. The added daylight effect does tend to pick you up a bit and some people find they don't feel quite so tired if they use a light box. Nice thing is, you can use it while at your computer or sitting reading etc.; it doesn't have to stop you from getting on with things. You can get them quite cheaply now, even at Argos I think. Well worth trying if you are feeling tired all the time or down. :o)

What's a polarized light box?

I'm using one right now and you really do notice the difference - even moreso when you wake up in the dark spend all day in an office & then leave in the dark.
