Has anyone else tried "day light" or "full spectrum" lights around their home?
This fall and winter I've been home way more than usual, thanks to Covid. So I've been experimenting with what I call "day lights", which are bulbs that mimic the spectrum that sunlight gives. I have them in several ceiling sockets around my home, and turn them on for a few hours most days and just do my usual stuff around the house. So far I've been doing alright mood-wise with this method, as opposed to my SAD light, which is the small one you sit in front of every morning. What I haven't figured out is whether this is contributing to the fact that I stay up later than I'd like, and then sleep in. I'm not an early riser by nature, and have run into this over the years regardless of light bulb types. Still, if it bugs me too much I might take a look at further experimentation.
