Not me, Brenda. Maybe Teppy?
Not me. I have the light box, but it's not an alarm clock.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You, apparently however, have something called Roof Rats.
New York City used to have Rattus rattus (known as black rats, roof rats or ship rats), and Rattus norvegicus (brown rats). The brown rats are bigger and meaner and killed all the roof rats.

Yeah, I knew Teppy used the light box but I think someone just recently posted about getting one of the gradual light alarms. The darkness in the morning recently has been really getting to me.

I don't have a gradual light alarm, I have a table lamp on a timer that turns on 30 minutes before the radio goes off. I usually respond to its click and LIGHT with cursing and moaning, but it does help wake me up. Put in a CFL bulb and it might be slightly more gradual... those usually take a few minutes to reach full bright.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Just out of curiosity, what's the difference between the light that a "grow light" emits and that of a light box for treating SAD?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Indeed, one of the few things I like about moving to a place where it freezes is that I don't have to worry about the fucking roaches.

That's a good question, Andi. I wish I knew the answer. Most of the alarms I've seen use basically regular lightbulbs so I'm not sure if they're a scam or not.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I love that Teppy named her light box "Ray."
I need to design invitations to my in-law's 40th anniversary party tonight. I am uninspired.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Brenda, a non-buffista friend just ordered one of these: [link] . No review yet, but she got a bunch of good feedback on it before ordering.
