Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), or the winterblues as it is also known, affects around 15% of us in some way every year. Symptoms of SAD include tiredness, loss of energy and vitality, concentration problems, low spirits, gloomy feelings, listlessness, cravings for carbohydrates and weight gain. The main cause of these symptoms is a lack of light. Bright light sets the pace of our biological clock, which regulates our hormone productions, and increases our activity level. For example, to maintain our energy levels we need a certain amount of light, the daily average being 2500 lux for 2 hours. On an autumn day the outside light is only around 1500 lux, in our homes the artificial light from bulbs is only 300-500 lux. Taking a 'light bath' with a product such as the Philips EnergyLight can boost your energy and vitality levels, making you feel more alert and raising your spirits.
