SAD Sufferers

I always feel down in January, this has been amped up by a significant factor this year.  Thinking a u-v light thingy may help - any recommendations?

I sit right by a southfacing window.  Consider where your workspace is.  I also get to spend a fair bit of the day watching squirrels and birds (finches, tits (fnar), magpies, robins and parakeets mostly).

Go for a walk, run, cycle etc at lunchtime. Exercise, fresh air and a tiny bit of vitamin D.

Start work earlier or finish later if you have to in order to fit in.

And/or try lifting some weights - always boosts the mood.

For me, it rises in the east and sets in the west, taking in the south along its merry journey.

 

Or is it big block of cheese day, and you're advocating an inverted peters projection map?

Jelly, I just meant the sun isn't out much....

At this time of year only south facing gets significant sun.  I don't have a suitable south facing aspect to work.

UV lights definitely help with SAD. Especially if you use them to grow weed.

BOOM!

Wot Davos said, I can't speak to the UV lights but even if its overcast/drizzly, getting out for fresh air regularly helps. I don't care if it breaks the law to go more than once a day.

 

I always get my SAD light out at this time of year, and it really helps to have an hour or two each morning as I work.

That plus Vitamin D and you are well away.
