Seasonal Affective Disorder - Tumblr Posts
Implementing a morning routine that incorporates exposure to light has proven to enhance sleep quality and mitigate the effects of seasonal affective disorder (SAD). To maximize the benefits of morning light, it is recommended to seek bright light before 8 am or ensure a minimum of 30 minutes of exposure to 10,000 lux intensity. Engaging in activities like a morning walk to soak in natural light is another advantageous approach. For those combating SAD, light boxes stand out as an efficient and accessible option to supplement their light exposure routine.
