Lumie Mini compact light therapy lamp (10,000 lux)
From October the mornings are dark and it shows in my mood and energy. I sit in front of this for around ten minutes each morning with my coffee — bright light early helps set your body clock, which supports mood, energy and sleep, and many women notice the difference when SAD season arrives. It's small enough to live on a desk. Not a treatment for depression — speak to your GP if your low mood is persistent.
