Does the lack of sunlight bring you down?

[bwoty]

It does me :(

[Lee.]

December is fine.. I like the build up to Christmas etc, but I get really down in January and February.. I hate the dark short days and there's nothing really to look forward to. Bring in march and the clocks going forward!!

[Samm]

No I love it dark

[Benjamin]

I'm fine until Jan/Feb then it starts getting to me. I may invest in one of those 'Happy lamps' or start hitting the sun showers.

[Lee.]

What's a sun shower Ben?

[Novo]

love it being all ****ty and rainy at Christmas and just relaxing watching good old Home Alone

[Vicky.]

Nah. Not really.

When it starts getting all rainy and stuff though it makes me feel ****

[Black Dagger]

Yes, I hate November the most, so I'm glad that it went quickly this year, did have a few miserable days. I should be fine now.

[Jemal]

Hate when it gets dark early.
4 bloody 15 pm it gets dark?
What kind of foolishness.

[Z]

Yeah I'm always really affected by winter, end up feeling down in the dumps for about 4 months (November-February)

[smudgie]

No.

I love the winter short days.

Having 4 seasons is amazing.

[Kizzy]

Yes, about mid jan to beginning of march, when it's just cold dull and drizzly. Summer seems miles away and the decs and fun of crimbo are gone.

[Scarlett.]

I much prefer winter time to summer time, though not keen on the rain.

[Sophiee]

this, winter is my favourite time of year :love:.

[King Gizzard]

there being sunlight and having nothing to do brings me down, plus the heat. being cold and wintery and justifying staying in and watching TV/doing stuff in the house makes me happy

[smeagol]

every night its dark im fed up of it

[Saph]

yes I hate darkness, especially in the mornings, evenings aren't so bad.

[Kate!]

yep I suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder or whatever it's called, I crave sunlight and bright days, not bothered if it's cold (ish) but dark and dismal makes me feel low.

[armand.kay]

No coz now I'm #TeamLightSkin

Oh when my teacher told me about this I thought she was joking :/. Is it an actual diagnosed illness?

[Jordan.]

oh no you found your way out of the X Factor section

[Kate!]

Oh when my teacher told me about this I thought she was joking :/. Is it an actual diagnosed illness?

yep it's a recognised syndrome, some people have it so bad doctor's prescribe light boxes for them to get their fix, I believe.

#Doyouhaveoneofthese?

[Nemo123]

Yes. I have a small sunlamp by me now and it's on.

[Nemo123]

It's a well-known condition. Seasonal Affective Disorder. It's lack of sunlight.
Funnily enough, because of our lousy overcast summers, it is not just a winter summer illness. Some of the best sunlight we get in this part of the world is in autumn and winter.

[Harry!]

The darkness and gray skies are upsetting, I love the sunshine as it can be quite pretty. But not when the sun is very hot.
