I am so happy that I started this thread. Such great information!!! Thanks everyone for the links to the lights I was talking about. Yes, it would be wonderful if I could get my doctor to write a prescription for a light. I haven't been officially diagnosed with SAD but if I mentioned it to my doctor, he will probably agree. I'm not taking Vit. D right now. I've just started on B12 shots and they seem to help some with my energy level.
As to sleepiness in the morning...yes...I've been waking up at a pretty normal time but if I get up and start doing something, in about 2 hours I have to lie down again. I usually get very hyper late afternoon and into the evening. Right now I'm posting at 5:00 AM CT. My sleep patterns are so messed up...I never know when I can sleep w/o taking a sleep medication.
Hope more people post with more great suggestions!
