How long are you without sun in the winter? It must be rough when the sun doesn't shine at all.
The first winter up here almost killed me. I would never advise anyone to move here in January! That was a bad idea! I use a special lamp all winter that mimics sunlight. I have sleep issues and even in the winter I have to force myself to go to bed. We have blackout blinds in the bedroom so it is quite dim in there--except when Boots plays with the blinds and makes them roll back up. He thinks that's great fun.

We don't get total darkness in the winter. You have to go a bit farther north for that. We get about four hours of light in the shortest days. The sun doesn't get very high though and it's often more like late afternoon light. I rarely need sunglasses in the winter months, until March anyway.
