Best thing to do Allen.

After many years living in the sun I feared I would suffer this when I came back to the UK which was 5 years ago. I did show signs of it as I was going to bed well early when the dark nights came. However time has allowed me to pull through this, going to midweek Cardiff games helped immensly. Im quite looking forward to the winter now but I'm still going to have my week away in the sun somewhere.

i spent several years working in south france in winter and usa in summer so never had cold weather, when i returned to this country i found long spells of damp cold makes me larthargic and miserable so i now take hols between nov & feb in carribean fantastic weather warm seas gives me the boost i require! anyone who says no such thing as S.A.D are lucky they dont suffer from it, :old:

I don't know to much about it but as soon as October hits I automatically feel like going in to hibernation until March. I hate the autumn more than winter with the wind and rain shit. Nothing better than being outside in a pair of shorts and flip flops and a glass of your favourite tipple and the smell of coals on the bbq. Roll on springtime.

No, I know that. Just thought there would be less sun there as well.

Lads I don't know if this helps because for me its still too early in the year as I normally get it November onwards but this is the first year that I have been training early morning before work so I'm hoping that because of that I am catching the sun raise rather than missing out as I would be asleep until 8.30/9.00 time so whether or not the additional 1.5/2 hours of daylight in the morning will help I'll have to wait and see.

Its combination of warmth and sun that's the benefit of carribean! Here its 7hrs daylight but can be damp cold and no sunshine for days even weeks at a time thats the problem. :old:

But when I tried that S.A.D light I brought last year Alan it wasn't really warm through. Didn't really work either if I'm honest with you through
