Seasonal Affective Disorder is a condition that is like what its anachronism implies SAD . A low feeling of mood contributed by less light in winter or more in summer. It is believed to be a treatable condition with full spectrum artificial lighting. The term full spectrum lighting is a marketing term and high spectrum lighting may refer to blue light boxes that filter out other colors.

“Full-spectrum” is not a technical term when applied to an electrical light bulb but rather a marketing term implying that the product emulates natural light.[1]

Products marketed as “full-spectrum” may produce light throughout the entire spectrum, but actually do not produce an even spectral distribution, and may not even differ substantially from lights not marketed as “full-spectrum”.[

Sleep time is a matter of biological clock and can be effected by less light in winter this can be addressed by numbers of disciplines including dark therapy, (sleep mask)and behaviour therapy ( don’t be in bed except for sleep and relations.)

If you feel better after spending money then there are many ways to do that but understanding that your bio-clock may be out from a differentschedule is a key to making adjustments.
