And the next expert will say otherwise ...
Same topic, but a question to those of us who dread dark mornings.... Can anyone recommend, by their experience, any of the dawn/alarm simulators. There seem many products on the market, but with widely differing reviews .... |

I haven't come across those, Geoff. Do you have any links to examples?

Is this like full-spectrum sun lamps? I'd appreciate links as well. |

Dawn Simulators - if not specifically for the treatment of SAD, at least as a help-me-to-wake up the mornings !

Interesting - thanks for that. Can you connect it to your sprinkler system for added realism for those rainy winter dawns?

We still don't have daylight saving in Queensland.. Most of the other states do. They had some ridiculous reasons, such as the extra hour of sun would fade the curtains.., but I suppose with livestock and working, you have to go by the time set... But, if you were on a farm, couldn't you just go by the clock of the animals? |

Don't like DST? Move to Hawaii, or Queensland, or Arizona. We still retain a modicum of sanity. And in Hawaii, there is still time to get nine holes of golf in between "pau hanna" and "too dark to see your balls".

Cue my semi-annual "standard, daylight, split the difference, pick something else altogether, I really don't care what pseudo-time zone it is, just pick something and STICK WITH IT" rant.
I hate the transitions. |
