Wheaton's Law is definitely appropriate for CPS. Thank you for what you do. I'm not willing to do it, so I admire you.

Dr. Rosenthal, I want to thank you for your research. Ten years ago, through the use of a lightbox, timers and several bright lights going on at 6AM (my bedroom looked like a landing strip) I successfully treated my severe case of DSPS. Even though I only actively adhered to the light therapy for about 8 months (until I got engaged and my soon-to-be-husband moved in) I continue, to this day, to be appropriately drowsy around 9 or 10PM, vs. the 3-4AM-10AM sleep schedule I had prior to the therapy.

My question surrounds ADHD, which I also have. What are your thoughts on the correlation of ADHD with sleep and depression disorders? I know ADHD and depression are often so comorbid it's hard to see where one ends and the other begins. It seems like so many of these things are related, and revolve around the key activity of sleep and our hypothalamus. What key non-medical therapies do you think might help ADHD?

Thank you again for your work. When I did my light therapy I lived up in Northern Virginia, and I was definitely heavily impacted by SAD. I live back down south again in Charlotte, NC and the winters are much easier on me emotionally than before. Your research has changed my life.

My house just outside of Reston sold in one weekend with multiple offers because it's in a school district that teaches Japanese and has a great program for visually impaired children. Can't remember what the school was, I had no children in school or anything but our schools were apparently the bomb.
