HappyLight 6000 Reivew
In years past, the long New England winters left me nothing but SAD. (Seasonal Affective Disorder). This year my SAD hasn’t quite kicked in yet for a few reasons. We’ve had a mild winter with unseasonably warm temperatures and as of just before Thursday of last week, very little snow. I’ve increased my exercise, which releases more of those feel-good endorphins. Of course it doesn’t hurt that I am looking forward to something this winter; we are heading to Florida for a week in February.
Now, I have the opportunity to fight SAD with light therapy. I have the HappyLight 6000 on my desk to shine on my face. The unit is lightweight, compact, portable and has a sleek design. I just plugged it in and turned it on. There are two settings, I just use the brightest setting. The minimum recommended use is 30 minutes to 1 hour a day. The Happy Light should be placed within 24 inches of your face.
Just recently, there were mornings when I was up for two hours on the pc and outside it’s total darkness. What a nice change it is to have the HappyLight 6000 sitting on my desk. It is almost like having summertime daylight all year round. I’ve only had this light for a week and I don’t claim that I have this new surge of energy or anything, but I do feel more productive and much better than I did while sitting typing in the dark. Can light therapy actually curb sugar cravings? Now it’s time to really put the HappyLight 6000 to the test!
I was pleasantly surprised to see this quote by Dr. Norman Rosenthal, MD.
I loved Dr. Norman Rosenthal’s book Transcendence that I recently reviewed. That fact that he “subscribes ” to light therapy reinforces my conclusion that exposure to the HappyLight will no doubt help me to ward off the winter blues. On another note, I will have to check out Dr. Rosenthal’s book “Winter Blues.”
The replacement bulb for the HappyLight 6000 is $25, rather expensive, however I shouldn’t have to replace it anytime soon considering the current bulb is a 10,000 hour bulb.
Another reason to to be happy? I have the opportunity to host this giveaway of the HappyLight 6000!

I’d use it at home near my computer. I hate when it’s dark and I”m on the computer. I can’t seem to get the lighting right.
Coupled with my depression, it’d be a good fit.
I would use it at home in the nursery.
I would use the lamp in my bedroom where I have a pet bird my husband gave me and the living room while I’m writing on the computer.
I think I’d use it by my bed, for reading! It’s much better for you eyes to read in natural light, so this would probably work great!

At my husbands work.
I give it to my husband to use on his desk!
I would definately use this in my son’s room. I’ve noticed that he tends to get the winter blues right after christmas for a few months. His grades slip a bit and he tends to get a little lethargic (not running around as much).
I would probably use it at home, in our living room. That room doesn’t get a ton of natural light and I spend most of my time there!
Near my sewing machine!
I would use it at work.
Thank you so much!
