Guess it's a depression remnant, whenever winter comes, I just kinda do nothing but stare into the glowing rectangle all day. How can I change that? Any ideas?

Edit: Thanks for all the advice people, really nice of you.

You can find SAD lamps made for this. I think there are even some that attach to your body. "Verilux HappyLight" is the best I could quickly find, not recommending it exactly, just as a starting point.

But I agree with the person who said "movement". I get that's kinda a "solve your problem by solving your problem" piece of advice, but it's just kinda how it is. It just sucks a little but forcing your way through will make it better, and eventually you grind the habits in

    I got the Sunsy A19. I very much despise the shorter days where we live so I got the “sunlight” bulb in hopes it would help alleviate some of the cabin fever, and lack of sunlight I think is driving some of that. I’d cautiously give it a thumbs up. I’m not sure if having that light really works or it’s psychological, but I do catch my brain thinking “sunlight” once in a while catching that light out of the corner of my eye.
