Light Therapy

A study by Canada's Centre for Addiction and Mental health has revealed that light therapy (especially during the fall and winter months) may help adults with ADHD.
"The study demonstrated that participants exposed to thirty minutes of light therapy, using a full-spectrum florescent light box that filtered out UV rays, had a significant decrease in core ADHD symptoms such as inattention, difficulty sustaining effort, impulsive response to stimuli, and hypo-arousal/fatigue."
Study participants reported having more energy, and they were able to wake up and go to sleep earlier. Read more online.
