[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Southern California kid goes to UChicago and I got her a SAD light; lots of sizes and types available on amazon. Non-issue but important to know about it.

There is something else, though, that I've never heard of until lately...that is Vitamin D can be (absorbed or created, not sure which) through the skin via sunlight, or in our food.  However; if your body is used to the sun and absorbing it that way, it doesn't "know" how to switch to absobring from food, so kids from more sunnier climates can get a severe deficiency and need to take supplements.

(sorry I'm not more precise on this; it's from my friend, who's son who went from SoCal to upstate NY--but you get the gist )[/quote]

+1. This sounds like why Judd Apatow's LA-raised daughter left Northwestern. Chicago has a lack of sunshine and the cold is on a different level.[/quote]

She mostly left because she got a part in Euphoria.[/quote]

She literally went on one of the late night show's and said it was because it was so cold and depressing.[/quote]
Who cares about one nepo-baby’s opinion? [/quote]

Why spread misinformation in this thread? Maude Apatow could have just never said anything but from her own mouth she left because Chicago was so cold and dreary. She moved back in with her parents in sunny Los Angeles.[/quote]
