I think it used to bother me more (in my earlier years here) than it does now. It's still not ideal - I am 100% a summer gal. But I think I cope with the darkness better now by doing the following:
1) We live in a city, so I try to (even though it's dark earlier) get out there & do all the things I would ordinarily do - walk around, shop, etc.
2) Yes on the cozy nesting, cooking, baking thing.
3) More hot Lush baths, reading more, etc.
4) If all that fails, I'll always have alcohol!
Since the time change, I have been exceedingly tired though - struggling to keep my eyes open past 8 pm!
