Measure
Bright Light Therapy (BLT)
The intervention will consist of daily BLT sessions lasting 30 minutes at approximately 10AM (since many CF and COPD patients may not awaken until this time) starting on the day of admission through discharge for a goal of seven consecutive days. The intervention will use a 10,000-lux light box placed approximately 16-24 inches from the patient's face. Bright Light Therapy (BLT) Lamp: With its built in automatic timer shut-off function, the bedside RN would not need to return to the room to turn off this lamp after 30 minutes because the lamp will automatically shut off on its own.

8.750 score on a scale
Standard Deviation 10.63

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Daily for duration of intervention period (goal/maximum of 7 days).

The RN will sign a daily log indicating what time therapy was initiated and if therapy was refused. These logs will be collected from patient doors at the end of each week by the principal investigator (PI) in order to measure compliance with completion of therapy on a daily basis.
