At this time of year, I used to be one of the many thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, well let’s go for it – millions – of people who struggled with effects of the lack of daylight hours. It’s dark when I get up and it’s dark when I leave the office. And, as with so many of us who are generally tied to our desks for work, the lack of light I believe interfered with my concentration, my mood and my general wellbeing. And I guess it’s very conceivable that the ripple effect of this “interference” will have touched upon my colleagues, family and friends. Now, I don’t want to overplay this. I wasn’t like a bear with a sore head during the winter months; but I will say I definitely struggled to operate at 100% all of the time.
I have a vision of a time when doctors could become increasingly engaged with the benefits of regular, controlled UV exposure and will refer people to their local professional salon to get it.
