Is it just me or do you feel exhausted throughout winter?
The key time for me is when the clocks go back in October. I hale from the North but now live on the South Coast so, at this time the big light goes on at 3.30 ish! 3.30 is the end of the day- surely not !!! Ever likely I feel tired - time to snuggle into a fluffy jumper and socks and hunker down to hibernate for the night. Time just seems to disappear into a cloud of lethargy and sleep.
