There may really be something to this. You might also study "circadian rhythms." I'm not sure I understand it completely, but someone started telling me about it once when I was having odd random sleep problems.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135550822601139497.post-22965848562238986852011-01-08T02:49:09.292+01:002011-01-08T02:49:09.292+01:00Hooray to your hero, but hooray to you too, becaus...Hooray to your hero, but hooray to you too, because I've been thinking I wanted "one of those light things" since winter is hard, hard, hard for me too, but I didn't even know how to start looking or find a good one.

I'm thankful I have anything, but wow.<br /><br />I sure hope this light does the trick for you, my friend.

If that light thingy works let me know. I'm a mess in all seasons, however. But probably worse in winter. But here in AZ it's hard to blame lack of sunshine. I would be happy to ship anything to you any time. I got nothin' but time. Hope things get better. I will tell my daughter about the light for her ADHD son.

I will be glad to be the jumper leg. Melatonin rocks...I use it primarily in the winter months and when I travel for longer than a few days. It has provided me with some much deserved great sleep.STILLMAGNOLIAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453175923858351452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135550822601139497.post-50295670234129416402011-01-07T11:38:30.642+01:002011-01-07T11:38:30.642+01:00Woot!!

I heard you get vivid dreams using it...fyi.<br /><br />I also take an extra dose of Vitamin D because of the lack of sunlight in the NW...we are gray and gloomy lots. I am sure that is what happened to me several years ago. I thought I had the flu and it was actually depression. <br /><br />Hang in there girl! :)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16230913715239504937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135550822601139497.post-4121659535168209732011-01-07T07:10:25.494+01:002011-01-07T07:10:25.494+01:00OMG!!

Ok first let me say I am totally extremely happily married so when I say this don't take it the wrong way but...I am SO in love with you right now!!! <br />I have talked and talked to several people...pretty much anyone I can get to listen about being in this funk and not knowing why and even my friends were starting to think I was a downer but this is it!! I knew it was not just me and I knew there was nothing mentally or physically wrong with me either. I am so buying this item and hoping the rest of this horrible winter goes better!! Oh btw I will send you the websites to a few companies who you can actually open up a Stateside mailbox with and they forward all your mail to your APO address. It does cost extra but so does paying to ship to someone and then have them ship to you so it is a good deal I think.<br />You are fabulous!!!family of 4 on the move!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06809717953442973082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9135550822601139497.post-66412324248381106152011-01-07T06:28:53.807+01:002011-01-07T06:28:53.807+01:00I have heard of those lights.

I would love to do some travel nursing in Alaska, but I don't think my brain and my mental state would cope at all.<br /><br />I hope you get feeling better soon. I had an OB/GYN tell a patient that they needed to be on 800 mg of motrin for a week before the period. It's a prostaglandin inhibitor. By the time the period starts the prostagladins are in full swing and it's like trying to pay catchup. Usually NOT working.<br /><br />I hope you find something that works for you.Welcome to the Garden of Eganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10132446191608085958noreply@blogger.com
