I can get like a bear, hibernating till it's over.
It's called seasonal affective disorder--feels like dazed and confused.
Never really was bothered by cloudy days when living in southern CA, and not here either until this year. Some of the more recent overcast days have made me feel like a slug....moving slowly, not much ambition but thankfully not producing a desire to eat and eat........sometimes another manifestation one notices during the shorter daylight.
