SAD is a type of mood disorder, and its symptoms often include feeling sluggish or tired, having trouble sleeping, and experiencing difficulty concentrating during certain seasons. Most commonly these symptoms appear in the winter, but SAD can also occur in the summer months.

Bindiya Gandhi, M.D., previously told mindbodygreen that these lights "work wonderfully by resetting and improving your overall circadian rhythm" during a time when your body may struggle to do so naturally due to lighting fluctuations."Light therapy is not new, and doctors have long been recommending this therapy for many different ailments," she adds.

Sun lamps are also used to help ease morning blues, depression, lethargy, insomnia, and confusion. According to Lizz Kinyua, M.D., a physician with a focus on mental health, these symptoms tend to occur during winter and autumn months because when it is dark for the majority of the day, our hormones can go a little haywire.

Sun lamps, Kinyua explains, "provide light just as bright as the sun to promote serotonin production and reduce melatonin production. When used continuously and in combination with other medications, they can be incredibly useful."
