I forgot...You say you live in Alaska!! That is the prime spot for S.A.D (seasonal affective dissorder) and apparently it is there that the highest incidence of this condition is found. Read anything that you can find on the subject and it might shed some light on the matter to you. (no pun intended there!:) but it it may be that for you the solution to your problem could be as simple as having some special light lamps installed in your home as they seemed to have helped lots of people. They are difficult to get hold though and I've never seen them in the shops but I know that in the States they are easier to buy. I have read a very good book about S.A.D. Unfortunately, it is not published in the U.S, but I will try and get some of the 'nitty gritty' bits together for you. Love, Josie
