Working to beat the Winter Blues

[alee_grrl]

We've had a very snowy and gray winter up here in Vermont and I've noticed that my mood of late has been as dreary and grey as the sky. So I finally gave in and ordered a small light therapy lamp.

My humidifier has broken, which is frustrating for two reasons. One is that winter isn't quite over and the humidifier helps a lot with preventing winter nose bleeds from over dried out sinuses. The second is that it also works well as a white noise machine. We're at the point in our winter where the humidity increases (hello mud season), so replacing the humidifier isn't a huge priority. However the white noise function is as I haven't slept as well the past few days. So I also ordered a sound therapy machine.

Lastly here's a nice laid back sort of beach tune to put us in mind of sunshine and summer:

I have a hard time sleeping without white noise too. I just use a small fan, though.

Good luck getting some sleep and enjoy your new stuff!

Thanks. When I lived in warmer climates a small fan was perfect. But right now it just seems to make my apartment colder, even if I place in so that it is sending the warmer air from the heater in my direction.
