In today's world, not only seasonal changes but also changes in work shifts, jet lag, and lack of sunlight can affect a person's natural biological cycles and moods. Research documents the effects of the sun deprivation and terms the resulting behavior "seasonal disorders."
We're all affected by these changes, some far more than others. For a very small number of people, fall and winter can become a period where they are incapable of leading normal lives.
In treating seasonal disorders, clinicians have discovered that therapy with full color spectrum light can have beneficial results on biological cycles as well as state of mind".
This information was gleaned from Lovebyrd.com a community for disabled singles.
Us Aussies currently sweltering under 40c temperatures don't have this problem. The only problem we have is

Bob: Reference Loopy time in Canada...
What about Loopy time downunder?...
On the west coast, I see foaming seas pounding onto the shores...(passing cargo ship discharging its ballast of Vic Bitter?)
Then I see fierce forest fires up north and raging floods down south near Tweedsmuir.
Cans't not your new PM ordain that the fires goeth to the floods, or vice versa?
