symptoms of depression using two self-report scales (POMS-D and BDI-II). The results indicated an immediate improvement in depressive symptoms after receiving both light therapy sessions (p=.02) (Reeves et al., 2012). In a separate study, twenty-eight adolescents meeting criteria for mild depressive disorder were administered BLT in a randomized crossover trial. One week of placebo light therapy (50 lux) and 1-week of therapeutic BLT (2,500 lux) was administered. Significant improvements in BDI scores and assays of saliva measuring cortisol and melatonin were significantly different between treatment and placebo (Niederhofer & von Klitzing, 2012). If BLT can deliver improvement in behavioral and biological markers of SAD, it is hypothesized that BLT could be an effective treatment for NES. Like NES, SAD is thought to be related to circadian dysregulation, thus, BLT could deliver significant improvement in symptoms of NES. If circadian rhythms can be re-entrained to the time of BLT (early morning) then a phase advance in eating behavior might occur. 24
