Seasonal depression
The sun is our source of life and energy. Seasonal depression may be caused by the lack of sunlight early in the morning that is the reason for disturbances of biological rhythms of human being. This depression is called SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). One in every eighteen adults is exposed to winter depression. 80 percent of people suffering from the lack of sunlight are women on average. Two thirds of the sick are not aware of disorders they suffer from.
Symptoms of seasonal depression:
The main problem of our civilisation is that we live and work in environment where luminous flux density is about 500 lx. This dose is far too small for us to function properly. Many people react for this darkness very sensitively, especially in the autumn and winter. We get up at the artificial light, go to work in darkness, work at the artificial light, returning home at twilight, having a rest at the light of 500 lx.
