Onset of melatonin in dim light conditions as measured in saliva (also called DLMO) Time of DLMO is measured in clock time, so a positive number in change would represent a later onset of melatonin and a negative number represents an earlier onset of melatonin (NCT02769858)
Timeframe: After five weeks of light therapy
| Intervention | minutes (Mean) |

| Light Therapy | -6 |
Self-report of depression symptoms. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression scale is scored from 0 to 30 where 0 is no depression and 30 is most severe depression. (NCT02769858)
Timeframe: After five weeks of light therapy
| Intervention | EPDS score (Mean) | |

| Pre-Treatment (EPDS | Post-Treatment (EPDS) | |
| Light Therapy | 12.75 | 7.75 |
Clinician-rated depression symptom severity measure; Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-Seasonal Affective Version (SIGH-SAD) (29 item version) measures depressive symptoms on a continuous scale. Higher scores indicate worse outcomes. Scores can range from 0 -73, where 0 means no depression, and 73 is the greatest possible depression. Generally scores of 20 or higher represent clinical depression (NCT02769858)
