When I wake up, I find I'm instantly awake, and no longer feel like I'm having to push a large weight off of my brain.

Yeah. That's great! That's how waking up should be. That's how it is for me during the summer (usually) or in the winter when I'm using the SAD light regularly... which, due to the recent travel, I haven't been, so much. Sigh.

Here's to your health!
