Does the fact that you go to work in the dark and come home in the dark affect

I am an IT Trainer, we deal with so many international students. So i do work in night shifts. Go to work at 8:00 at night and come back at 2:00 or 3:00 at night. I did not affect me at all...........

When i was working third shift i never noticed any mood changes but my girlfriend said i always seemed tired and short. as soon as i switched back to first shift i immediately felt happier for some reason. i think there is some psychological thing about daylight that you do miss after a long time of only being up during the night and early morning.

Yes, It takes it's toll on my SAD depression, and it makes me feel more run down and tired then I normally would if I do not at least make sure I see a sunrise, sunset, and get two hours of daylight. However adding a full spectrum light specifically to SAD may help for some. My Parents just got one. So I am testing it as a new thing to see if it helps. - DNatureofDTrain
