Heeeeeey...

So, after a year, it's finally dawned on me (haha) that one of the reasons I sometimes have such trouble getting up in the morning initially, even when I know I've had enough sleep, is the fact that there is soooo little natural light in our apartment.

So I'm starting think I might benefit from something like this. Except I don't really want to force S4 to be up before he wants to be, either. Anyone used one? Are they cool? Are they stupid? $100+ for a simulated sunrise seems a little frivolous to me, even though I have to admit I'd also really enjoy the ancillary benefit of not searching for my socks in near total darkness as well. (The outlet situation up in the loft is... "interesting"...) I don't think that I'd count myself in the ranks of those with S.A.D., but I do know that sunlight or lack thereof can effect my mood.

Or maybe I should just try to get myself to go to sleep at a reasonable hour more often. *shrug*

we have daylight bulbs upstairs in our house, and if we stay up there in the evening working on stuff, we don't get tired and have no concept of time. its really unsettling. a couple of minutes after going back downstairs, the sleepy hits us because we've stayed up way past our bedtime.
so.
i know daylight balanced bulbs help with the S.A.D. thing, because we both have it and going upstairs helps. i think the clock would work, but i would recommend putting in a daylight balanced buld. florecent just doesn't cut it.
