Spring is here, right?
White stuff, ice, north wind, c-c-cold. Well, cold-er (been spoiled). *But* there's more daylight, and that's the main thing!
It was so balmy this winter, and now I'm scraping car windows. It reminds be to be glad I no longer drive a truck - crawling up on the hood to scrape was hard on the knees - and cold on them too
I will be keeping up the use of my SAD light for a while yet. Usually I quit at the end of March, but I did an experiment once and used it year round, which seemed to work well, so I plan on doing so again.
I got off-track with the light because of travel, and had a heck of a time getting back in the groove. I just couldn't seem to get a routine going thanks to several factors, some of which were my own doing. I was already having sleep problems and may have inadvertently made them worse with my erratic schedule. In any case, the sleep-wake-light cycle is finally levelling out (I hope).
Anyway, spring can be rocky for a lot of people, even those without a mood disorder. So it might be a bit early to kick the light to the curb if you've been using it this winter. My two cents.
