Don't go lookin' for that kinda treatment, @canesisters . This is more likely to help:

Too much caffeine? I'm gonna fix another pot of 2/3rds de-caf and think about how far I can go with this ...

Steve, if you are affected, another reason for you to move south of the equator in the winter months. That's preferable to giving up coffee.

My research shows that if you drink your coffee with the lights on, you will not have negative effects from it.

I will never part with my coffee!

Getting exercise and getting outdoors more (despite the cold temps) is a very effective way to manage it, for me at least. I am very much "solar-powered" and find it very hard to function on those long, dark, miserable days of winter. The unfortunate thing about SAD is that it makes you want to pull the covers over your head and sleep all day!

And, for me. I'm generally okay after I can adjust to the bad weather and before it gets icy out.

Unfortunately, it gets icy about the time of the shortest days. Impatience sets in by Ground Hog day ...

Yeah, I can handle Nov. and Dec. pretty well. It's after the New Year that I just about lose my mind. As long as last winter felt and as cool and short as the summer seemed to be, autumn came around way too soon for my liking!

And possibly easier to get that coffee as well.

Cause of the winter blues? Can't garden when snow is on the ground.
