Don\u2019t get me wrong, I love winter, I love snuggling up in my bed socks with a cosy blanket and nice cup of hot chocolate, but the darkness is just exhausting.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\nFor many of us the dark nights and dreary days can negatively affect our mood, but for some the effects can be much more severe. Seasonal Affective Disorder is a type of depression thought to be caused by a lack of light, with symptoms presenting themselves in autumn and becoming most severe in December, January and February. These symptoms include feeling lethargic and sleepy during the day, a persistent low mood, irritability and a loss of interest in everyday activities.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.ethicalsuperstore.com\/images\/resize280\/75640-Lumie-desktop-on.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright\" \/>SAD lights are lamps that have been developed to mimic sunshine and have been clinically proven to effectively treat the disorder \u2013 but even if you don\u2019t have Seasonal Affective Disorder, they are great for perking you up on those particularly dreary days.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been selling <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/lumie\/\">Lumie SAD lights<\/a> for a number of years now, and we will always recommend both the lamps and wake up lights which replicate a sunrise to wake you up gently rather than jerking you awake like regular alarms.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nYou will now also find SAD lights from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/innolux\/\">Innolux <\/a>available to be purchased from us.
