LED Desk Lamps Available!

Medical Student Wellbeing is happy to share that you have access to SunBox Light Therapy devices!

Light boxes can help with mood and energy at any time of year, but especially as daylight hours grow shorter in the winter months and people are not getting as much time outdoors or in sunlight.  A light box should be used as close to the face as possible. A good way to use it is right next to your computer or other device, for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours per day. Mornings are the ideal time to use the lightbox.

Students who have ever experienced manic symptoms or have been diagnosed with bipolar I or II disorder should not use the lightbox, simply because it can increase the chance of mania.

Students are welcome to rent an LED SunBox Sunny Day 10,000 LUX Desk Lamp through the Student Affairs Office. Student Affairs has 7 desk lamps available for 2-week rental periods. Students may be able to rent for longer periods depending on availability.

Please email Maria Saavedra ([email protected]) directly if you are interested in renting a desk lamp.
