What Is a SAD Lamp?

A SAD Lamp is a light dispersal unit designed to increase the users exposure to sunlight during the darker winter months. They typically have different settings to dim and intensify the amount of light that is put out.

How Does the SAD Lamp Work?

SAD Lamps simulate sunlight in order to trick the brain that the body is taking in natural light. This causes the brain to release serotonin, also known as the "feel-good" hormone. This can have benefits for mood, circadian rhythm (sleep cycle) and your general health and wellbeing.
