Do You Hibernate?

As the days grow shorter, I find the lack of sunshine making me sleepier earlier and earlier. I think my hibernation gene is kicking in and I need to shake free of it. I'm one of those people who NEED light. Lots of light. I have 100 watt bulbs in the ceiling fan (4 of them) in my office. As soon as the sun comes up, I open my blinds and let as much sunlight in as possible. I need the light to keep me on my toes, awake and functional throughout the day.

With the sun coming up (for me) around 7:00am and going down around 5:30pm, my functional timeframe is shortening. After the sun sets, I'm done for the evening. Sad but true. I'll either veg out or plug into the television and end up going to bed early. Not good when I'm on deadline.

My November Intrigue NICK OF TIME is based in North Pole, Alaska where during the winter, they get little to no bright sunlight during the day. I'd be like the woman on the television show MEN IN TREES and carry around my light to keep me from getting depressed. I MUST have light.

My sister works in a basement office with no windows and limited lighting. Ack! I'd be in a blue funk all the time. Not for me, no sir.

What about you? Do you hibernate? Do you NEED light? Is it just me? Please tell me there are others out there like me...all alone in my office, turning up the lights...
