I am utterly exhausted. I sleep 11hr stretches at night and nap several times a day. I have a therapy light which has largely been succesful for combating the depression but I think there is a point when not even that can win the battle against dreary cold and impossibly long nights. I am far enough north that I only see daylight these days between 9am-430. Even at noon it is dim enough that people drive with headlamps on. Thank goodness I have not fallen into depression this year - but it is a battle. The worse part is that I don't think there is anything I can do about it other than wait for the coming lengthening of days. Thank goodness the Solstice is just around the corner.
