Episode 2612:

Dr. Neal answers Susan's question about light lamp therapy, confirming its effectiveness in treating depression and regulating circadian rhythms. He explains how light influences our sleep-wake cycles, the optimal use of light boxes, and emphasizes the importance of consulting a healthcare provider.

Quotes to ponder:

"Light lamp therapy is helpful for treating depression and regulating our circadian rhythms."

"Our circadian rhythms can be influenced by the environment, with light and darkness being the most powerful factors."

"If we live in an area where the sun typically shines, spending 30 minutes outdoors each morning is usually enough."
