it's kind of messed up that the bright light therapy lights that you turn on for a little while when feeling tired and sad actually work while also sounding entirely like a snake oil scam.

I'm only just now learning about these since i was born and raised in a place where everyone feared the sun and everyone got their lumens and whatever else in a few seconds and then avoided the sun as much as possible for the rest of the day so they didn't spontaneously get vaporized.

they're basically religious iconography in the pacific northwest from what I'm reading regarding people praising them

@elfi @root i thought at high latitudes, in addition to getting less sun in the winter, the angle of the light causes a lot of higher frequency visible to be filtered.

anyway light therapy helps me a little, but i have treatment resistant depression.
