Eight months of little to no sun. Nope. I couldn't do that. The few months of constant sun wouldn't be enough to sustain me through the darkness.

Have you looked into light therapy lamps? I have no idea if they're effective, only that they exist. Also, maybe deck your house out with all sorts of other types of lighting. Christmas lights. Lava lamps. Whimsical lamps. LED lamps that change colors.

Just over two weeks until the shortest day of the year. Good luck!
