I suffer from this really badly and the most annoying thing is it has much more to do with the change of temp and the baromiter than with dark weather, it is still sunny as can be in Boise most of the days and I get out in it but:
I am exhausted,
I can't stay asleep as long as I desire but I need more sleep than usual,
I tend to wake up for about an hour or 2 at around 5 am wide awake and funtional right up til about 8 am when I crash hard
I am craving carbs like a drug worse than I normally do,
I can't think strait and I hurt worse than usual,
I am having nightmares (common for me with SAD)
These are my main symptoms and YES I have been checked out for them over the last 10 years and I can predict them showing up usually about a week before halloween every year and lasting until April. They vary from day to day in intensity but I litterally spend nearly half the year exhausted in a way that wont go away for any length of time.
Am I the only one?
Does anyone else here have SAD? What are your symptoms and what has helped you?
