TIPSfolk,

I was discussing Seasonal Affective Disorder and the relationship to
melantonin, serotonin, and sunlight.  A student asked if the same effect
of full-spectrum lighting could be achieved by going to a tanning salon. 
I think that tanning salons use lights that block UV rays, but I don't
know the relationship of the properties of sunlight that actually prompt
melantonin and serotonin production.  Can anyone help clarify this?

Thanks,
Rob
