Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Winter makes us cold, cranky and craving for carbohydrates, but did you know there's a reason for all this? Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) affects nearly 10 per cent of the UK population during the winter. S.A.D. can leave you feeling lethargic and depressed - but luckily there is an easy cure.
The S.A.D. Lightbox Company manufacture a range of lightboxes that are medically proven to make you feel re-energised and happier this winter.
During winter there are fewer hours of daylightm which decreases Serotonin, the hormone that keeps us happy. Exposure to bright light therapy through lightboxes reverses the process and prevents the winter blues. Using a LitePod will replace the sunlight that we are missing and give you more energy during the day.
Alternatively, if you just hate waking in a dark bedroom through the winter, the DawnLite - a bodyclock dawn simulator - wakes you slowly with natural light, resetting your sleep cycle to help you feel refreshed, alert and energised all day.
