I've now tried out the SAD lamp (or "happy lamp," as Ky calls it), and it's awesome. I want one just like the one my University has: the big bright ones that you only have to use three times a week. I felt a noticeable difference after sitting under it for half an hour. Like, I felt lighter and I kept smiling to myself all the way home. That's quite the change on a day when I was constantly feeling like I was fighting through fog.
I fear that I may become like Walt in that one episode of Northern Exposure... (Okay, I couldn't find which episode: you know, when Walt got one of those SAD light visors and became really happy but also an addict?)

I think I could use a SAD lamp.
Remember the episode of when Chris made a big sculpture out of all the lights and lamps he took from everyone in town? That is one of my favorite episodes of Northern Exposure.
That episode really was spectacular. I think it was called "Northern Lights". And I think it was the one I could relate to the most, because light has always had such an effect on me, and I've always had an emotional reaction to glowing lights. (Also, when I was young, my nightmares tended to take place in dim light.)
