Darkening days
I am not dealing well with the increasing darkness. I am tired at 7:30 pm because that's when it gets dark now--time to sleep. 6:00am feels more like the middle of the night than morning. I am craving junk food. I'm cranky in the evenings, and my brain feels the pull of depression.
It feels like it snuck up on me, but now the dark is real. Something must be done, and soon.
I forced myself to get up early enough this morning to get in a bit of yoga and pranayama. (I let my morning exercise routine go while I was sick). I have turned on my full spectrum light bulb at work today, and tonight I'll put full spectrum bulbs in several strategically placed lights around the house.
Hopefully these measures will help. I hate being cranky and tired all the time.
