- atmosx 13y agoNordic Countries have this problem which affects melatonin levels and human psychology. It's not a very good place. I think the best conditions are met in the Mediterranean.

It is a bit harder to get up in the morning if it's still pitch-dark outside, but otherwise, I have no SAD-type effects. Others can barely function without those lamps that are white-balanced to match sunlight and programmed to gradually brighten up in the morning.
