15 Coping Techniques for Seasonal Affective Disorder
by Frank Salamone, CSW

I like the one that says to remember that SAD is physiological rather than psychological.

I shiver just thinking of cold water.

I love my light, I keep curtains open and try to sit in front of the window. SAMs club has a set of my lights and I want to get them before the days get any shorter.

I can't get up to go get coffee; the expense, it's way too cold, and the three morning I go down my ds to get the dgs out to school I am up at 3:45AM and go back to bed for a nap.
Good read

Bizi,

During the winter months some people produce higher than normal levels of melatonin, resulting in SAD symptoms such as sleepiness and low energy levels.

For some people, taking Melatonin in the afternoon works.

Default Stop taking melatonin in the winter.

Even those of us in sunny places can suffer from SAD.

I only learned recently that SAD is caused by too much MELATONIN.

People who use it should stop taking it in the winter time or take it under the direction of a medical person who understands it -- someone like my sleep doc.

Smile coffee delivery

Di,

Someone who likes mornings could start a coffee delivery business so that
people have something nice in the morning to help them look forward to
the rest of the day.
