If I recall, it's vitamin D from the solar rays that is the anti depressant, darkness itself shouldn't make you depressed, it makes me happy. growing up, when it gets dark is when everyone goes out and parties. people don't party as much when it's bright outside, almost as if it's a rule or something. I just drink lots of milk which has Vitamin D added to it, and i'm as happy as a bean, are beans happy? I think so, beans make you fart, like they are playing a joke on you, right, that means they are happy!

How about the florescent light visor that Hollis wore on "Northern Exposure?" It made him feel so much better that he wore it all the time instead of the two hours daily he was supposed to. When they found him outside chopping wood in the middle of the night in just his long johns and light visor, they held an intervention.

I'm going back to bed.

If that SkyV thing has HDMI imputs... I don't think I'd ever get out of bed or whatever room I decide to put it in.

Solar Flashlight? If you need a flashlight that means there is no light therefore the flashlight would not work. So is a Solar Flashlight pointless?

I love DST. Someone please make a calendar note for February to come check and see if I am still alive, as SAD hits me full on then.

What? Daylight savings time is actually good - because that means I get to sleep in for another hour. (Well, actually I also go to bed an hour later... but it feels better if I tell myself I get to sleep in :P)

@Eruanno: How so? During daylight savings you push the clock forward an hour so you lose an hour of sleep.

I'm not bipolar but suffer from alot of the same symptons. I have a "sun" light that projects the same type of light that the sun does, and it does help me stay functional through particularly dreary/stressful days.

That light therapy thing for pets looks a lot like a throne, with ray of light shining on the divine presence sitting upon it (aka Ms. Fuzzykins).

"Ever since daylight saving time ended last weekend, I've been a little depressed."

That is very strange - i've felt 100% better since it ended, while before hand i was having trouble getting up, and wasn't in the best of moods.
