OP here.  Thanks for all the tips.  I'm feeling good right now... the sunlight is streaming in through my window.  I will try the Vit D and niacin suggestions.  As far as the suggestion to "run," above, unfortunately that's not an option.  I have osteoarthritis in my ankle and a heel spur from a previous break, so that won't work for me.  I'm going to start yoga and swimming, but can only do those after work when it's dark, and honestly my first impulse when it's dark and cold is to be like, "I have to get home NOW."  It's like a primal thing I have to fight against if I want to do stuff after work.

Question for the poster who uses the Ott light... I looked on Amazon at the reviews and it seemed to be described as a "task light" for someone who was doing detailed work like sewing.  It really helps make reading more comfortable?   And you feel better sitting under it?   I don't have time to do dedicated light therapy, so I think I might try it.  Also might get one for my dad, who loves to read but has cataracts and floaters.  I think it will help make reading easier for him.

Thanks again to all and it's good to know others are having the same issues in winter.  [/quote]
