Summertime Can Occasionally Be Weird

Summertime is a time of wiggy for me because of the light in the air. What causes sleeplessness in the summer is actually the fact that it gets light earlier, and darker later. If spring can make someone wired and tired, then summer can make these mental health symptoms worse. I’m able to sleep while it is light outside, by now, and I’m doing way better this summer than I have during any other summers. Mental health symptoms are cyclical in nature for everybody dealing with schizoaffective disorder. Eventually my symptoms improve in August, September and October if my symptoms are not that bad, but I can have another flare in October if I don’t get enough sleep, from Indian summer which should not get that hot this year.
