With an indoor office sometimes the lack of an exterior wall can result in seasonal affective disorder. A remedy is available by using a full spectrum light. One of my office mates has one of these Happy Lights and after a few weeks, he says it seems to work. He feels more focused and balanced. So, I ordered one of these lights and it’s just arrived. I have it hooked up and it’s really quite bright. I’ll let you know how it works.

According to the packaging, this light can improve your mood.  It can also make you smarter.  What I will attest to, is that you do feel more upbeat and see more clearly – so to the extent that this can be a way to enhance your intelligence, it’s a great idea!

If you decide to get one too, let me know what you think? I got the compact one which seemed to be the best size for a desk, but they come in larger versions as well.   In fact, I already placed an order for another one, and I’m probably going to get more than one more.
