That absolutely makes total sense. I have always suffered insomnia in spring time & summer, it's worse in spring. Also, being hyper/manic. I don't suffer depression as much as manias but I do slow down in winter & actually like winter better due to this. I've read a lot of studies & books about bipolar disorder & this is a common thing---the changes in moods depending on seasons.

Does that make sense? Anyone else ever notice or have similar experience?
