I Have Seasonal Affective Disorder

I have noticed the last number years I found myself dreading the thoughts of Fall/Winter, as it approached.

Living in Canada means much shorter daylight hours in the winter and cold snowy weather..less sunny days for sure.

I discovered upon doing some research the I have S.A.D....thankfully my symptoms are fairly mild, so I am still able to function relatively normally.

I purchased a therapy lamp two years ago. I start using it as soon as I feel a change in my energy level and mood...November thru to March. Plus I take Vitamin D as well.

I have noticed a vast improvement the last two winters using the light therapy lamp. My energy level has increased, much more positive and my sleep patterns revert back to normal. I have the lamp on my desk at the office and use it periodically throughout the day and on the weekends when I am at home.

Start my day sitting in "sunlight" drinking a nice cup of java...very nice!!!😄☕

I am definitely a sunshine girl who is counting down the days until Spring!! Lol 🌞

Do you know that with shorter daylight hours you don't get enough vitamin d
So it's a good idea to take a supplement

How many cups of coffee to get you started? Where in Canada?

@samueltyler2 At home on the weekend, I would have two large cups of steaming java!!😊☕
During the week, it is just one XL coffee in the morning.
I live in Nova Scotia..on the east coast.
