 Seems to help January 1, 2009
This was my Christmas present this year. I actually bought it a few weeks before Christmas b/c it seems Christmas time is always extra stressful. This was by far the least stressed I have been at Christmas time. I am usually up for nights and can't sleep. But, this year I really passed through December as if it were just another month. I can't say whether the lamp works or if I believe the lamp works. As my husband says, it doesn't matter as long as it helps.
It does have a small slight smell as the plastic warms up and the light has been on for a while. I am one of those unusually sensitive people who can smell when milk goes bad from across the street. But, I have to say, the smell is not strong and most people would truly not ever smell it. I think that is why there is such differences in the reviews. Some people are very acute and do smell the slight odor and the normal joe would never pick up on it. Also, as a sensitive migrain sufferer the day that I did my light treatment and then went to see Disney On Ice in combo put my eyes and senses into over drive and I got a major migrain. My eyes felt like I had burned them and in my head I carried around the halo of the sun lamp. I think I was to blame. I believe I got too close to the lamp while I was reading and it really hurt me. I laid on the floor with a book and read up by the light - also on the floor without its' legs. You really do need to stay 12 inches away from the light. I called the company the next day to see if I could have the light shine on my back instead of my face (to avoid hurting my eyes any more) and they said that the light has to come in through my eyes. Also, I asked about UV and whether this was the same sun waves that cause skin cancer or skin damage and they said the UVs' are filtered out. I just thought I would pass that along since it isn't in the thin manual.
I do recommend this product. It really did make a difference so far this Winter. By reading many reviews (for a year - since last pre-Christmas) before finally chosing this product I think I made a good choice. Just follow the guidelines of doing your 30 minutes in the morning as early as possible. Stay 12inches away. Don't look directly into the light. Try not to skip days. Look at the manual for the actual photos that show 'the wrong way to sit' and 'the right way to sit' when using the light. I don't always read the manual; but this item really requires you to. Good luck and enjoy.
 Go Towards the Light!! December 22, 2008
I have a very dramatic history with depression, bipolar disorder, generalized anxitey disorder, self harm and a personality disorder. I went off my medicine completely a few months ago because my husband and I want to start trying for a baby. 2 of my doctores recommeneded looking into the light therapy. I live in Northwest Ohio, and it gets so dark out here so early in the day. Anyway, I researched the lights and even though this one seemed bulky, I ordered it. It is increadible! I have racing thoughts and 20 minutes under this light and they quiet. Everyone is different, so you kind of have to play with the time length you are under it. I started out with 20 minutes and then tried 30, just the 10 minute increase got me hyper, not manic or anything, just hyper. I don't drink pop or coffee so the jitters were different for me. But not bad. So I've had the light for over a month now and I use it twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening before bed. It calms my mind. The only down size it is bulky, not heavy or anything, just akward. But once I realized what it does for me the size doesn't bother me at all!
amazing! December 9, 2008
I have used this product for one month now to help get back into better sleep patterns. Before I used the product, I was using ambien for two years to help me get to sleep. I now go to sleep easily and have a sound sleep. I wake up in the morning refreshed and look forward to spending 30 minutes in front of my light.
Good product May 19, 2008

Definitely makes a difference in how I feel on overcast days. I run for it when the weather makes me gloomy. Seems a little unstable with the long legs on. You need to be sure they are really tighted or they can collapse.

This product helped me tremendously when flipping my clock for night shift work. It's well worth the money to help maintain cicadian rhythym.
