Fat sand rats

Ok, I don't have SAD, but I needed to include this for the sole reason that they're doing research on "fat sand rats." I love it.

"Saying goodbye to summer can be difficult for everybody. In some people the onset of winter triggers Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, a mood disorder in which sufferers experience symptoms of depression. Happily, a special kind of gerbil exhibits remarkably similar reactions to SAD treatments as humans, opening a promising new channel for study and treatment of the common complaint."

Vitamin D and those lamps are proven to be good for folks with SAD. I started taking the vitamin D in a multi-vitamin and hope it'll be good for the depression.
