Imagine the plight of our friends in Alaska! Six months of darkness.........I'd say kill me!

But that is the main reason that winter is so depressing.......less sunlight and more darkness (days are shorter and nights are longer). In Alaska..........and anywhere, for that matter, where a person doesn't get a mininum amt. of sunlight per day.....the result can be depression (cabin fever round my parts). But,there is a solution! Light therapy! It's a scientific fact......the human body needs the nutrients from the sun (vitamin D, for example) and when we are deprived of this nutrient........a temporary depression can be the result!

OMG......there's that nonsensical trivia again!

THINK SPRING!!!!!!!!
