Back in my freshman year at Florida State University, I felt like I was losing myself. I had always been a high-performing student in high school, but suddenly, I was struggling to stay focused in class, falling behind on assignments, and barely sleeping at night.

I chalked it up to stress, a tough transition, maybe even burnout. 

But something still felt off. 

Then one day, my roommate brought back a simple incandescent lamp - nothing fancy, just warm, familiar light. I didn’t think much of it at first, but as the days passed, I started feeling more like myself again. 

The headaches became less frequent.
