I'm guessing they didn't take the lack of maternity leave too lightly...
Canada has paid maternity/paternity leave. I don't believe that's changed to make it drop. Must be some other factors...unless
of course you are referring to the United States???
I have SAD too but it's the opposite kind. I can't stand all that sunshine 300 days a year. I need my rain, my cloudy weather, my thunderstorms, etc.
I'm one of those weird people that get extremely hyper and happy when it's the middle of a storm, a drizzle, monsoon season, blizzards, etc.
Colder weather with the sunshine behind clouds makes me get up and go do something, exercise, visit places, anything. Hot sticky weather in the middle of the summer months makes me stay indoors all depressed. Just like people are sick and tired of rain and snow, there's such a thing like people getting sick and tired of the SUN.
I would trade my 300+ days of sunshine with maybe 20 days of sunshine in Alaska or Norway ANY DAY!
