Do grow lights help with SAD? Learn how to use artificial light to effectively treat the symptoms of seasonal affective disorder!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Alright, so I’ve been feeling a bit down lately, you know, the usual winter blues. And I heard that these grow lights might help with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). I thought, why not give it a shot? I mean, I’m no expert, but I was willing to try anything to boost my mood during these gloomy months.

So, the first thing I did was to get a grow light. I just grabbed one, didn’t do a lot of research, I have to be honest. I set it up in my living room, right where I usually chill in the evening. I started using it a couple of weeks ago. I just turned it on when I got home from work, usually around 6 PM. I noticed the grow light mentioned something about full-spectrum light, so I figured I’d use it while I was doing some work on my computer.

Do grow lights help with SAD? Learn how to use artificial light to effectively treat the symptoms of seasonal affective disorder!

Initially, I didn’t really feel any different. But after a few days, I started noticing that I was feeling a bit more, I don’t know, energized? It was subtle, but I felt a bit more awake and less sluggish. I also started keeping it on for my plants, I have to say the plants are looking good. So one day I was looking at my plants and just realized I was in a better mood, you know? This is actually making me feel better. Can’t say for sure if it’s the light, but it feels like it’s helping.

I also read somewhere that these lights are used to “modify the user’s profile,” I guess that’s what it did for me! Anyway, I kept using the light every evening. I made it a part of my routine, kind of like a ritual. I’d come home, switch on the light, and just go about my usual stuff – reading, watching TV, or just hanging out.

Here’s what I did:

  • Got a grow light.
  • Set it up in my living room.
  • Turned it on every evening around 6 PM.
  • Kept it on for a few hours.

After a few weeks, I can say that I’m definitely feeling better. I wouldn’t say it’s a miracle cure, but it’s made a noticeable difference. I feel less tired, more motivated, and just generally in a better mood. The dark winter days don’t seem as oppressive anymore. Now I think I can understand why some people say “Key predictors of the health, stability”, it’s like the light stabilized my mood or something.

So, yeah, that’s my experience with grow lights and SAD. If you’re struggling with the winter blues, it might be worth giving them a try. It’s not a magic solution, but it’s definitely helped me. It’s like, the light resolved some major computer issues in my brain! Hah! Just wanted to share my experience, hope this might help someone else out there.
