It's a depression that comes from too much darkness. Of course, it happens mostly in the winter. You would have fatigue, sleep disturbance, a strong desire for carbohydrates, potatoes, bread, that kind of thing and social withdrawal. I have that all year round. Light therapy is recommended, so some people use artificial light boxes.
Treatment runs up to six hours a day.
But I guess that's the point. If I've got this right, it's the Earth's position on its axis that determines the number of hours of light in a day, and man certainly can' t change that. So I'm not trying to mess around with the Earth or its axis, for that matter. I'm just saying it's been pretty dark out there for a long time, and personally I'm thrilled daylight-saving is finally back. Copyright MMI Viacom Internet Services Inc. All Rights Reserved.
