discussing a scientific basis for treating SAD. I dont suffer like my mother did. I
also dont have to get up early and I do like the little twinkle lights and because
the birds are where I sleep there is a night light on, the TV is always on (volume
way down, lights flickering) and the birds wake me in the morning to their singing.

for a dawn simulator for her and the least expensive way is a "plug" that turns any
lamp into a light that slowly ups the brightness in the room over 1/2 hour.

Sorry if I seem to make a joke of anyone's difficulties in life. It
is just that my problem is more like lazy ass disorder, or LAD, which
is not seasonal. It get worse as I get older too.
