In the south, where there arc more daylight hours, fewer people say they are unhappy in the winter. The reason is the amount of sunlight these people get each day.

A couple of hours of strong light or light from a special lamp can help our body make the chemicals that make us feel happy.Another way to feel happier is to get some exercise.
