Want to flip the switch on feeling down during the winter months? Dr. Craig Sawchuk suggests giving light therapy a try. Light therapy is thought to affect brain chemicals linked to mood and sleep, easing symptoms of seasonal affective disorder. Dr. Sawchuk recommends using a 10,000-lux light within the first hour of waking up for about 20 minutes. Continue light therapy into the spring or whenever your mood starts to naturally improve.
Be Well. ~Tiffany
