One of the delights of SAD: I get what I jokingly refer to as circadian arrhythmia. That is, I come home sleepy at 18:30 and have the choice of either crawling into bed around 19:00 and waking up before 04:00, or else not proceeding immediately to bed and instead being up until 01:00. There does not seem to be a happy medium; I cease to be sleepy after 20:00. This is not ideal when I must wake up around 05:30.

Also, I have this tendency to be sleepy in the winter no matter how much sleep I get.

But you know, it's the end of January. Only a few weeks of getting worse and then it starts to get better. (Little cheers.)

If I'm sitting/laying down between 9pm-11pm, I fall asleep. If not, I'm fine until well after midnight. Silly me took said cat nap, now it's 1am and we're all awake. I sleep a lot less in the winter. What's a girl to do? ;]

I've come to the conclusion I prolly have SAD also. I think when I started to understand this is when I made sure I was getting enough D, potassium & calcium. I also really push to eat more green, orange and yellow veggies too in winter. That's easy in summer, local fresh is everywhere but tasty fresh in winter is a bit harder.

I do not think I have SAD. And I have been paying enough attention to my mental state to be sure. But I am having some wierd physical symptoms that apear to be worse in Jan Feb. I am thinking I need to arrange my life to take those months off.
