Sun lamp? I might need to look into this
My old roommate had a full spectrum light he kept in his desk. We don’t get much sun, so it was to help compensate (for stuff like mental health and such)
Oh, man. I can’t imagine living with no sun. I’m in Florida and this past “Winter” there was a full 7 days where it was overcast. I almost cried.
In most of Canada, winter days are short enough that many people get to the office before the sun is fully up, and leave work after it sets. Seasonal depression is a very real thing.
I get seasonal anxiety from the cold in winter

They are excellent for seasonal affective disorder. Basically, humans technically have a mild form of hibernation. Our modern lifestyle doesn’t allow for that however. When you don’t get enough sunlight, our body assumes it’s time to bed down. This is experienced as an extended bout of apathy and tiredness, leading to depression.
A sunlamp has enough light, of the right spectrum, to help reset this system to summer mode.

I’m personally a bit skeptical of them, but I also don’t know anything about it other than that they exist.
You turn it on and the depression goes away
The air purifiers and dehumidifier were the real game changers for me. I can breathe through my nose now!
