As a child, summer<\/a> was my least favorite season. I hated being hot<\/a>, hated the sun in my eyes, hated how it didn’t get dark until 10:00pm in my Pacific Northwest<\/a> town. Fall, on the other hand, was heaven. I looked forward to leaves changing, temperatures dropping, and cloudy, “gloomy”<\/a> days arriving. While others complained about “dreary” weather, I relished it. Sweaters over sandals was my motto. <\/p>

I always felt like the odd one out\u2014I mean, what kid doesn’t love summer<\/em>? But since then, I’ve met more and more people who loathe the summer sun and count the days until the gray skies return. Some of them even find themselves truly getting depressed in the summer\u2014a phenomenon known as Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder (or sometimes summer SAD). <\/p>\n
