Gotta admit, I used to think people were crazy for choosing basements. I always figured sunlight was something you could just get over, like a minor inconvenience. But your post makes total sense now, my buddy did the same thing in Denver and he was a zombie for a month before he bought one of those lamps. The part about the leaky roof is hilarious though, that's the kind of thing that makes you feel like you won the lottery in a weird way. I'm glad the mirrors and lamp worked out for you, sounds like you cracked the code on making a cave livable. Did the dawn simulator actually help with the waking up part, or was it more about the mood during the day?
