Seasonal Affective (?) Disorder

I don't know if anyone else goes through this but I think I do. I've read that upping one's vitamin D intake helps, so once Fall hits, I start taking more cod liver oil. DOes anyone have any other suggestions or things they do to combat this?

I'm already down with the massive amounts of herb. icon_rofl.gif
I just don't like the constant sleeping and moodiness. Last year the cod liver oil really helped. Maybe California is the place I wanna be.

DOes anyone have any other suggestions or things they do to combat this? light therapy as alex suggested, also make a concerted effort to get out more during daylight hours, may require a lifestyle change, think of yourself as a solar battery that needs to be constantly re-charged.

He was up all hours of the day and night. Maybe forcing myself to be more active will help. I'm working more hours now so ... graemlins/conf44.gif

I was thinking this was probably my best bet - getting out during the day and staying active. Thanks all. smile.gif

here's a slick website from a company w/ some very good looking therapy lamps. expensive as hell but these look cool as hell. www.megatron.net/snowlabdesign/index_ie.html (http://www.megatron.net/snowlabdesign/index_ie.html)

i did some research for whirlpool looking at s.a.d. and ways to combat it. i designed some products for them which probably never see the light of day.
