I wonder if one of those full-spectrum lights might not help? I know that they help people with SAD, and I've used them in the past to deal with what I call my Fall Flu, when I get tired, achy, and a bit ditzy every day at the same time during October.

The thing I bought was (relatively) portable -- well, it had a handle on it and was about the size of a briefcase -- and called a "happylite."

The name is a bit odd -- it sounds like something that's installed over Winston Smith's bed and doesn't have an off switch, frankly. But it helps. Might be worth seeing if you can snag one (I don't recall them being expensive) and give it a test-drive next fall ... ?

They are expensive down here; I'm still looking
around for "sales" on those things.

I am currently using Antique & Vintage Lamp
shades (along with the Antique / Vintage Lamps)
but the flip-side is; the shades get worn out due
to the age as I use them frequently.

I have installed Hurricane Windows in my house
(yes I installed them) with 80% tint - where it's
almost polarized, and it's extremely helpful for
too much sunlight makes me light sensitive so it
eliminates me having the need to wear sunglasses
in the house.

Now that I wear glasses, due to vision problems, I
have difficulties in finding sunglasses that I can wear
when I go out - like to stores; because some of these
stores have these lights... and don't get me started on
Department Store Lights, Colognes & Perfumes Sections,
and so on ....
