The bulbs in my light have broken. i have ordered the replacements, but if this has happened to anyone, can you tell me how fast you noticed the symptoms coming back stronger? i noticed it after 3 days and feel awful now after 5. I had to see my GP for a review but it wasn't my usual GP. She treated me like i was making it all up! i just wondered if it is just me feeling the effects so fast. I tend to notice i need more sleep after missing 1 day, let alone 5! I spent all weekend crying! I even missed Top Gear of all things!

I think it's entirely likely that you are noticing the symptoms after five days. I started off using my lightbox five days a week at work but found I went back a long way over a two day weekend.

I think you've got to try to stay positive and remember that you'll get your new bulbs soon and it will all go back to normal.

HI sleepy bear, sorry you are feeling down, I notice the difference if I just miss one day. Im sure your new bulbs will come soon.
