Basic sunlamps aren't expensive. I grow plants in-doors and suppliment w/ them, the bulbs are ~10-15 bucks and fit in any desk or ceiling lamp.

I have a "happy lamp" by a reading chair in my living room, and sit under it in the mornings while drinking coffee and watching the news. Coffee+Sun perks me up in the morning right quick.

I'm in Edmonton, Canada -- look it up on a map, we're far up there -- and it's basically how I make it through the winters here.

So these are UV bulbs? I know bright light is used to combat SAD, but AFAIK that's not about vitamin D, just the light itself having an effect on mood.
