I know it sounds silly but lots of people admit to having SAD in the winter months but I am completely different, I stress in the longer days. Any ideas of how to help? The people who have it through the winter have light boxes..and please dont just say close the curtains :0)

My god, I really can't believe there is someone out there who feels the same as me!!! I thought it was only me who had the SAD disorder backwards!!! I love winter and dark nights so much but I don't know why. I prefer to take out my three dogs in the dark mornings at 6am in freezing, wet & cold weather in fact I prefer freezing, wet, cold weather and dark nights!!! Am not much of a summer person obviously. I have no idea whatsoever the cause of this. I hate trying to go to bed on light nights it's absolutely awful hate them so much.

The nights are getting shorter.
But you will notice that after 21st december the evenings start drawing out but the mornings still continue to get darker for about 3 mins longer each day until about mid January, then it will start to get lighter earlier in the mornings as well.

Lefty you are a fantastic person although I'm seriously wondering what your teeth look like at the sides.
With everything you are doing I honestly think this is a small thing. Don't worry to much I start my counselling classes soon and I need someone to practise on.
Get some curtains and sit in the dark.
Oh bog I wasn't supposed to say that.
I'm not really making light of it in my heart ( just so you know)
ummmm I didn't mean to say 'making light'
