My fiance seems to hibernate this time every year, could it be seasonal depression?

Question

He sleeps constantly, I'm talkin he goes to work and comes home and takes a like 3 hour nap, wakes up, eats a little, and goes back to sleep until it's time to wake up in the morning. It's definetly not an all year thing, but it seems like around fall every year he gets this way. This is our 4th fall together and it's the same every year. What can we do to snap him out of it and get him to be a productive member of society again!?

btw-we live in Mississippi, it's not that cold here yet. He gets home at about 4 and he does electrical work on new constuction, he's outside a lot!

Answer 1

Where are you?? What I mean is it already dark when he gets home from work? Some people get depressed without enough daylight.

I have heard of light therapy, you might want to investigate that. They use light boxes, but I would think you could put brighter "daylight" bulbs in your house or apartment to help discourage the sleeping so much.

I hope this gives you an Idea for research.
