Considering Light therapy

I am currently diagnosed to have SAD. Search over the internet gave me hope in light therapy. However I still dislike the idea to get up even earlier to have this treatment before I go to work, since I need my sleep very badly. I was wondering how people (who do light therapy) feel about this? Of course if it helps why not get up earlier, or don't you get up earlier and do it while having breakfast or something? The fact of a non-mobile lamp in combination with having about 1 hour treatment doesn't really convince me yet to buy one.

What do you do during the light therapy? Just sit there and watch at the light or do you have lunch or something? And does this mean you have both a bright light and a dawn simulator? Which one works best? or would you advise to have both in combination

I do the same as Paul more or less. I sit at the computer, eat breakfast, sometimes I prop it up next to the ironing board or put it on the kitchen counter if I'm working there or nearby if I'm sewing. This all makes me sound much more industrious than I really am.
