Bright White Light Therapy in Reducing Cancer-Related Fatigue and Depression in Advanced Prostate Cancer Patients Undergoing Treatment With ADT Combination Therapy

Participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed prostate cancer

Participants must have radiographic evidence of measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as \>= 10 mm ( \>= 1 cm) with computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or metastatic lesions as identified as related to prostate cancer on a standard technetium bone scan. Alternatively patients may have radiographic evidence of metastatic disease on an Axumin or prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positron emission tomography (PET) scan

Eligible for treatment with ADT plus docetaxel (planned for 6 cycles or fewer) plus abiraterone acetate and prednisone or darolutamide (triplet therapy), or ADT plus enzalutamide, apalutamide, or darolutamide (doublet therapy). Prior use of ADT with a gonadotropin hormone-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist or antagonist, or prior orchiectomy is allowed

Age \>= 60 years

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =\< 2

Expected time to next treatment of \>= 12 months and life expectancy of \>= 18 months, as determined by a study Investigator

Leukocytes \>= 3,000/mcL

Absolute neutrophil count \>= 1,500/mcL

Platelets \>= 100,000/mcL

Total bilirubin =\< institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)(serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT)(serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) =\< 3 x institutional ULN

Creatinine =\< institutional ULN OR

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \>= 50 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 unless data exists supporting safe use at lower kidney function values, no lower than 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected participants on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial

For participants with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated

Participants with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial

Participants with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be eligible for this trial, participants should be class 2B or better

Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Participants are still eligible and may proceed with the protocol and bright white light therapy if they discontinue baseline hormonal treatment, but plan to continue with another of the eligible treatments. However, if they discontinue treatment due to cancer progression, they should not continue on the protocol
