If it is SAD you would require a special kind of lamp, it provides the same amount of light for your room as a sunrise would in the summer, which although you're sleeping and won't see it, does send happy signals to the brain and help the body make certain vitamins. I'm not an expert on the condition, but I think prozac woudln't help as you're deficient in another chemical - not seratonin.

If it's a seasonal thing it's also worth looking into whether anything particuarly traumatic happened at the time of year you become depressed at. I once thought I could have SAD but after cloer analysis found it was simply a repeating pattern from an event that occured when I was quite young.

Hope I helped anyway.

Starts, Sorry about your nocturnal issues....if I started talking with an accent of any kind, along with the moods that I have been displaying...I am quite sure that I would be committed to the nearest asylum!
