I found this suggestion in a book about health and started to use it last September as I get depressed during the winter months in Ohio. The book suggested that you buy a small flashlight with the brightest bulb you can find. Place the flashlight in the middle of your forehead and turn it on and hold it there for three minutes in the morning when you wake up and three minutes at night just before going to sleep. You are essentially flooding your brain with light. I must confess that I couldn't seem to remember to do this in the morning before I got out of bed, so I adjusted the time to five minutes each night before going to sleep. This technique has helped me tremendously over the last winter months as I find my attitude is much more positive. I figure that if it wasn't working, I would have forgotten to use the technique. And, personally, even if there is no scientific evidence that it can make a difference, it works for me, does no harm, and only costs the price of batteries, and five minutes of quiet time.
