I used to get a little down sometimes in the winter, in previous years, anyway. No problem this year, but I have been outside a lot more now that I no longer work for the phone company.

I used to take a vitamin D tablet when I started getting gloomy, and that seemed to help. Though maybe it was just a placebo, lol.

I do think that we are genetically programmed to sleep more in the winter, though. Like maybe evolution makes it that way so that we don't expend as much energy during the time of year when food is most scarce. I sleep 8 or sometimes even 9 hours per night in the winter, but only 5 or 6 in the summer.
