If you have seasonal affective disorder, winter's short days and long nights may induce feelings of depression, lethargy, fatigue, cravings for sweets and starches, headaches, sleep problems and irritability. Learn more! Trouble Sleeping; Not everyone who has trouble sleeping has S.A.D. But they can occur together. Learn more about sleep and S.A.D., and other Chronic Diseases. Includes tips for getting a better rest. Presented by: Debbie Devigne, Mental Health Worker and Sharlene Thompson, Chronic Disease Nurse.
