Thanks Janice for your information. I've had a big light box for several years, but I don't seem to be SAD in the traditional sense. However, as much as I hate the heat (I become overwhelmingly sleepy), up until a couple of years ago, if I could stand it for a few days, all the extra sun sometimes had an anti-depressant effect. It doesn't seem to work any more, however, and increasingly I get sick in the sun -- nauseated, confused, dizzy, ready to pass out. Of course, living on the coast I'm just not used to the heat, and when I go inland and the temp is well over 100, my body just isn't used to it at all.
96 cycles a year! Good god, girl! And I thought I was on a roller coaster.
Love you,
Mark
