Hippocrates*, the father of medicine, observed in the 4^th century BC that “whoever wishes to pursue the science of medicine must first investigate the seasons of the year and occurs in them.”

People who suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) are depressed, predisposed to over-eat and need a great deal of sleep. The disorder is linked directly to the amount of light travelling through the optic nerve. The acronym first hit the headlines in the early 80s. Many SAD sufferers have been successfully treated using light therapy.

Countries in the higher altitudes (including Sweden, Finland, Alaska, Iceland) often suffer psychological and sociological problems through lack of sunlight, with high rates of suicide, depression, and alcoholism. The inhabitants of the world’s most northerly city – Tromso, Norway – have to endure two month in darkness. The result is bio-rhythmic confusion: many people can’t sleep, feel as they have jet lag, put on weight and so on.

Local winds such as le Mistral can have effect on mood. Le Mistral is a strong, dry, cold wind that blows through the Rhone Valley and the South of France to the Mediterranean. Symptoms include tiredness, headaches, insomnia, and bad temper.
