Nice points, Josh.

Noah, it's not about burning out. I have plenty of downtime. But at my latitude (54.5 degrees) is very difficult to get moving when the days are short. Almost everyone here is affected to some degree and if it's really bad you get a SAD diagnosis.

I read the New York has 10 times more SAD that Florida and I live hundreds of miles north of New York so it follows the we'd have much more SAD here.

I saw this and thought 'is that like Alaska or something?'

Much more mundane - it's Newcastle-upon-Tyne!

It's as far north as I'd ever live. The darkness in the winters is really hard on me.

The bulk of Alaska is North of 60 degrees.
