Fritz Strobl, M.D.: 10 Ways to Combat Holiday Stress

Some of the problem can be attributed to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), not simply stress. It's the time of year when we may leave for work when it's dark and come home after the sun goes down. Bright, full-spectrum light for 30 minutes in the morning may help. (As pretty as they are, nighttime Christmas lights don't count!) Walking outside is great not only for the sunlight but also for the exercise. Even if it's chilly, bundle up and get outside during the day -- build a snowman, head down the road to visit a friend in the neighborhood or walk to the store rather than drive.
