Ever since the Autumn arrived, with its shorter days, I am napping more frequently - sleeping on the couch a lot during the day.
My Energy levels seem to be drained - feeling tired all of the time.
I used to take 2 hour walks in the Summer a day - now i barely walk half an hour a day.
I am more depressed but its not severe, just feeling more Blue - missing the brighter, longer days of Summer I guess.
Any one else affected by the shorter, darker days of Autumn?
I cannot use a LightBox because it will swing me into Mania.

The autumn with it’s shorter days seems to have a mild downward effect on my mood.

My mood is usually affected by weather. If the day is cool or cold and has no sunshine I will get a little depressed. So in winter I rely on heaters.

Gosh, a two hours nap is too long. You will be fired if you worked for other people.
Yes,that’s why I will try hard to stay awake at work for my own good
Tell your doc make sure your depressed feeling is not just due to the season change
