Product Reviews of Verilux HappyLite Deluxe Sunshine Simulator
Product Review: HappyLite
Summary: 4 Stars
This light source does help with mood; however it is very difficult to use when at the computer. The glare, even when turning the light to different angles, overpowers the monitor screen.Product Review: Happylight!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had the light for a couple of weeks and using it for 1/2 an hour each day and it seems to be helping with my S.A.D.Product Review: I like this !
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this just over a week, but I began to feel the effects from the first day. I'm not dragging, have more get up and go, I get out and do more. Other side benefits : I find I wake up easier - not so groggy in the mornings. I also feel less hungry.
If you read the instructions, it says the closer you sit to the light, the less time you have to spend sitting in front of it. Recommendation is 9" -24" from your face, which is pretty close/awkward. I try to sit for at least 20 mins weekday mornings with it very close to me. On the weekends I sit in front of it for hours as I do other things, but I keep it within 24" of my face. I'm hoping that I am 'filling up" -- dont really know if that is possible.
It's kind of a drag being stuck in front of the light everyday -- but the results are worth it. It's such a relief to get rid of lethargy and to wake up alert in the mornings.
The light is very bright -- it lights up the whole room. no way you can use this without everybody knowing. The lamp is also larger than I anticipated.
Update: I have been using this for almost 2 weeks - although I am still enjoying feeling more energetic and waking up easier, I am noticing that I am "on edge" and bordering on crabbiness --which is supposedly a sign of over doing it - so I will be trying this every other day.
Product Review: Light therapy that works consistently
Summary: 5 Stars
I got a Happy Light about 6 weeks ago, and it has worked very well for me. I've made the mistake a few times of skipping my morning light session and I can always tell by evening - but the next day, after using the lamp, I'm back to normal. I've been dealing with SAD for years and put off buying a lamp, but they are worth every penny.
I noticed another reviewer was skeptical a short time after starting to use the HappyLight. FWIW, it can take a week or so for the light therapy to really take effect. Light therapy is also ineffective for 20% of SAD sufferers, so it may not be a problem with the lamp. But my advice is to give it time - if you're part of the 80% it helps, you'll get there with consistent use.
Product Review: Made of awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been dithering about whether to buy one of these lights for seasonal depression for about 10 years. I finally took the plunge and I am so glad that I did!
This unit is expensive, but it is worth it, especially if you can get free Super Saver shipping.
When the day is especially grey/cloudy, or I am tired/hungover, I wake up with my alarm clock, turn on the Happy Light in my bedroom, and crawl back into bed. Within 15-20 minutes, I am awake naturally.
Have you ever gone camping and found yourself unable to sleep once the sun came up? That is what the Happy Light does for me, except I get to be in control of the light.
The Happy Light has saved me from wanting to hit the snooze button three times, from needing excessive amounts of coffee, and from being late to work. I cannot thank the manufacturer and Amazon enough.
