Default White rat preliminary report on light therapy

Has anyone tried light therapy? This is just my fourth experiment with it, but I swear to goodness that it seems to work! I stumbled to bed about 10:30 PM with my usual freezing coming on. Woke about 11:30 to hit the john and thought I would struggle to the kitchen for a cracker or two. As I expected, it was doable but still a pain. I knew it would be at least three or four o'clock before it started to shift so I figured I would eat and flee back to my wonderfully horizontal bed. But while I was eating I thought what the heck and turned on the light that I had been experimenting with for the last few days.

It is now 1:00 AMand I have been fully "ON" for 45 minutes! The previous and admittedly sloppy trials had shown enough benefit that I didn't quite write it off as imagination. But this one is the most impressive yet.

I'm using a $20 wonder from Office Depot with a full spectrum type bulb (T4 12W 6400K) full in the face from about six feet away. Stay tuned.
