SAD light location and use for programmers?

It’s been a grey winter, and looking to stay that way. I work remote, so I was thinking of getting an SAD light. But I remember from years ago when I had one (and worked in an office) that if I put it next to my monitor it gave me a headache and made my monitor hard to see.

You can also get a light box/mood lamp. They help produce vitamin D and alleviate seasonal depression.

So many times this. I love my light box. It keeps me sane.

This is my mood for the day! Grateful to be breathing this fresh air.

I plan on doing this for my son when he is ready to save for a car.

You should try browsing deep into stock images sometime. Some weird shit in there.
