I tend to gravitate toward older pulp science fiction and "space opera", though SAD doesn't impact me to any real degree now that I live in the tropics*. It did do a number on me years back when I linved in Dallas,TX and was worse during the short time I lived outside of Philadelphia.
In Big D I had rather bright full spectrum lighting in the den, kitchen, bedroom, and my computer room which I would always use until late evening to stretch the feeling of daylight.
* OK, Key West is not technically in the tropics as they start a degree or so south of here, but with a 12 month growing season (there are blooming flowers all year), decent day length (~10.5 hours today), and temp warm enough to walk outside in light shorts and a T-shirt (today's high was 81F/27C and its currently 74F/23C some 2 hrs after sunset as I get ready to go for an alfter dinner walk with the wife) I get plenty of real sunlight.
