Winter morning depression

It works.. Really works.

I tend to have a mild depression in the winter days, it's quite
common, you hardly see the sun, when you wake up it's dark, when you
get to the office, it's dark, when you get out of the office, it's
dark. It takes its toll.

My solution? Get a halogen light, stick it into a timer and set it to
turn on between 6:30 and 7:30 at full blast.

It does make a difference. Now at 7 I don't want to stay in bed
forever, I don't spend an hour in that sweet spot between awakeness
and sleep. I wake up, not even make a cup of coffee, shave, dress and
get out of the house. Also I tend to be more cheerful, which is nice.

Get a halogen lamp and a timer. It works.
