Every so often (like 3 days a year) and for quite a bit of winter (additional several weeks) I wake up and within an hour get extreme lethargy, slight nausea, slight headache, body aches and heavy limbs and general malaise.

The fact that it is much more pronounced in winter leads me to believe it is SAD related. It is quite possible to have a few good days or weeks in winter and then "slip" back into the tiredness.

I suffer from it slightly since I've reached age 40 and I've noticed a marked difference in my general well-being and energy levels in the winter. I've never tried the lightbox therapy but I've heard that it DOES help some people.

On the bright side, the days are already getting longer and it's only about 11 weeks to spring.

Good luck.
