Hi Alice and welcome
I would suggest the link here on ivillage http://www.ivillagehealth.com/experts/emotional/qas/0,,166185_766,00.html for info. I know i get more tired and I want to sleep more. I get that sorta "leave me alone" feeling, moody, sometimes sad when there is no sun. I always thought they should have called it hibernation sickness. Also look at google.com and put in either SAD or seasonal affective disorder. tons of info out there. I try to get outside when it is sunny and I take Inositol for the moodiness. it helps. They have done studies on it to treat mild to moderate depression and have gotten great results. it is a b vitamin and you can get it at healthfood stores and vitamin shops. I hope you come back we are here for you. Yes my sleep patterns have changed. I sleep more and more deeply.
