Well, if I was in Alaska I would be paranoid. I have heard that the sun doesn't give it's light as often and that would certainly keep me inside more often. I think that is why so many homeless and often mentally ill people decide to live on the streets of Los Angeles. I had a terrible winter because of it not being warm out, and now that it's getting there I am ready to do stuff but cold weather and no sunlight makes me shut down. One thing I told a Canadian to do, that I read about for myself was to buy a SAD light, (Seasonal Affective Disorder). You sunbathe underneath it on your bed and it gives you natural Vitamin D, then supplements don't compare to and helps you feel motivated. I am seriously thinking of buying one myself and I live a fair distance closer to the equator than Alaska but still the winter greatly affects me. On another site, researchers from Finland followed a group of pregnant women and the children after birth and found that those taking a Vitamin D regiment, the women, their children were 95% less likely to develop a mental illness and it is beneficial to a patient as well. Something to think about. If I was in Alaska I would certainly buy a SAD light. :-)
