The most funny part is that they call it disorder, seasonal affective disorder. Disorder, think about that word. It's our biology that doesn't cope with the modern life that demands we function in artificial light. It's our inherent inbuilt biology they call disorder. Before electricity people just slept more during winter and did work the amount of daylight there was, but that's not allowed anymore.

People who have red/auburn hair, or have the "red haired" gene, can metabolize Vit D from as little as ten minutes exposure to sunlight. I live in Australia, and was telling anyone who would listen from the age of 16 (a long time ago now) that after 10 minutes I could feel the sun sting my skin (and I'm not red haired, and my skin goes olive looking with sun exposure - but I do have red haired relatives so I've got the red haired gene). So unless I had to work outside, I stopped "sun tanning" from age 16, and am still having skin damage issues anyway. At one point I did a lot of gardening, and even driving in a car, with the sun pouring through the glass at my face, it's caused skin damage issues. In fact, I theorize that anything used on the skin, including moisturisers and sun block lotions, can increase issues with skin damage by changing how UV interacts with the skin; even worse if sunlight is boring through a glass window onto you. Sunlight is fantastic, but small doses are best. I cannot wear sunglasses, they make me incredibly sleepy (I used to try and wear them when driving). Sunglasses change the way the light interacts through the eye and I do not recommend, but have no studies to uphold my theory - but I was absolutely correct, from observing my own body, about how fast we burn from sunlight, so I'm sticking to my theories on sunglasses and certain lotions.

As a Norwegian I lived in Brazil as a child ca 10 Degrees South of Equator and what struck me was the days and nights were almost equally long the year round;Sunrise at around 6-6:30 AM,Sunset at 6-6:30 and when the Sun started to drop it dropped fast so no long sunny evenings there due to the faster rotation at those latitudes.Compared to that I prefer the Annual cycle here in Norway level to the capital at 61 Deg N with dark winters but we get all the sunlight that we missed back in summer with Sunrise at 3:30- 4 PM and Sunset at 10:30.11 PM with longer lasting sunny evenings. There"s a price to pay for everything but the price here is worth it

I get summer blues; I hate the glare of sunny days and love the long dark nights of winter. I love nights and hate mornings. Just shows we are all different.

It's interesting because I live in the southern United States where we have mild winters but typically very hot summers, and I often feel like I get SAD . . . but during the summer instead of winter. I hate extremely hot temperatures, so when it starts getting above 85 degrees I usually stay indoors and don't have very much motivation to go do things. And since I'm staying indoors more I don't get very much light exposure, just like for people in colder climates during the winter.

Taking vitamin D3 really does help with the mood when you're not spending enough time under the sun.

I was born in the tropics and now live somewhere where winter is cold and a bit dark. I get deeply depressed, like clockwork every winter. I long to move back to the sun.

I came across a video on youtube about an Indian guy in France who was happy *not* to have *that* much of sunlight. Same with me. I do *not* like about 12 hours of sunlight. In fact for me, nights\twilight\cloudy is mood lifter. I do believe in circadian rhythm but i wouldn't be surprised if 25 years from now, if climate change hasn't killed us, scientists found that it is not _so_ uniform across humans.

I live in the tropics and it gets hard during the monsoon when the weather is gloomy for couple of weeks. Completly without the Sun I will go crazy.

San Francisco is not too cold but i used to get the winter blues anyway. I started using wool under my clothes. I use more layers now and i have not more blues.

While I appreciate the information on melatonin, I am surprised that this piece does not mention Vitamin D synthesis from sunlight, and it seems an incomplete take without talking about it. Also worth noting that many of the cultures that live in the far north eat foods that are high in Vitamin D, such as salmon and mackerel.

I wish I lived there!

Different with me, I live in a country where there is no winter, summer most of the year and I mostly sleep in the day and woke up at night. I love the silence of the night, cool air and calm. I work at home and I didn't need to go out so I sleep at day time when it's hot and chaotic and loud and working at night and sleep again when the sun starting to rise. So basically I didn't see the sun.

I wish that tanning beds weren’t so bad for us. That bone penetrating heat from a tanning bed is so welcoming in winter.

I have it really bad, on worst years I've had symptoms of severe depression, including suicidal thoughts. Some people don't experience any symptoms and it's less than maybe 1-5 % of population that get a severe case like mine. Bright light therapy helps, I spend an hour a day with my bright light. Going outdoors every day is important and getting enough excercise. I still get symptoms, but they're less severe. Every winter when I avoid those suicidal thoughts feels like a victory. I've learned to live with it, but I say we have a genetic memory for hibernation. It's not active in everyone, but if you look at our closest relatives in this environment, the bear and the badger, I don't think we're that different. Bears sleep most of the time in their nests, but badgers are more active. They don't sleep as much and sometimes come out of their tunnels, but even they spend most of their time "indoors". It's only natural for humans to slow down too when the winter is so dark.

And for anyone else giving advice, please stop. I only wanted to share my experience, because someone out there going through the same symptoms might benefit from hearing that others have it too and some have it really bad. I have met with several psychologists about my symptoms and they all seemed to think that I won't benefit from therapy and have good tools to cope with the situation. I don't disagree and that's why I say I've learned to live with it. Of course there are ways to alleviate the symptoms (most notably bright light therapy), but the root cause is the long and dark winter and it's not realistic to think that all the symptoms will just go away doing things right. You have to learn to live with it.

It is not so bad living with long periods of darkness, you get the opposite when summer hits. And as a Swede there is this magical rush of euphoria when spring arrives and you realise, yes, the season is changing, and we almost transform. You see a sudden change where suddenly everyone starts to come out of our shells from winter and life explodes (nature sleeps most of the winter and also reappears around spring). And you enjoy a magical summer with all life around you. And the autumn hits after months of excessive sunlight, it is time to go indoors, cosy up which we are experts on. Sure winter will be long but we know spring will return. Compare this to living closer to the equator. I as a Swede did, and honestly I got depressed. Every day all year the sun came up and went down around the same. Yes, there were seasons but the changes were minimal. I was relieved to return to Sweden and what I can describe as magic (though it is perfectly normal).

In my country, India....... We have to take care of ourselves to protect us from too much sunlight.

Lucky bastards

is that theme from Kera ?!

And here at the equator, you can only go outside to see the sun at dawn and sun set without it burning you alive. I haven't tasted, touched, or even seen real snow with my eyes before, I hate winter but I really want to go outside sit there and just eat snow for once.

That's in the far North of Sweden

I live in tropical country and I only get like 30 minutes of sunlight a day, because I hate sunlight,..

Blind people benefit from sunlight. There's the vitamin D absorption, plus it feels good.

Go to the tropics :)
