Stay Awake with a Bright Light
Adjusting to
the long, dark
days to come
long, dark days of late fall and
winter. As the sun sleeps in
later and goes to bed early our
bodies want to do the same,
but we live in world of arti-
ficial light. As a result, some
succumb to seasonal affective
by K ay l. n ewell
disorder, a syndrome of win-
t he l ight b ulb l aDy
On Sunday we set our tertime blues when Vitamin D
clocks back one hour for stan- deficiency during wintertime
dard time, the beginning of the can magnify depression.
Natural sunlight is a nutri-
ment and Vitamin D is creat-
ed in our bodies when skin is
exposed to the sun. The ultra-
violet rays metabolizes calci-
um and increases the body’s
use of vitamins C and A. I do
not know of any bulb that is
advertised to provide vitamin
D, but full spectrum bulbs do
help with the symptoms of
seasonal affective disorder
and are great for plant growth.
Our farmer ancestors were
said to get up with the chick-
ens and went to bed at dark.
The colors of natural sun-
light activate our bodies to
wake up in the morning and
go to sleep at night. Hologen
bulbs provide a yellow light
that mimics some of the nat-
ural yellow color of the sun’s
morning light. They are a
wonderful bulb to wake you
up and a great bulb for active
work.
Neodymium is infused in
light bulbs to create a color
that is close to afternoon light.
It is a softer, calming light, and
also great for evening lighting.
Moon light is a mellow yellow
light that allows you to sleep,
yet see in the night.
I find the new Edison bulbs
are very comfortable for eve-
ning use. For office lighting,
I use an American made flu-
orescent tube lamp that is 92
percent of the light of a Sep-
tember day. Standard fluores-
cent lamps give me headaches,
stress me out, and make it hard
for me to read.
Visit me at Sunlan Lighting
on North Mississippi Avenue
and experience the best office
light for yourself.
