Insomnia: Need more info such as BMI SNORING nocturia? Complete Epsworth sleep scale to see if it suggests OSA. What hat is goin on on these few days needs to be examined closely.

Seasonal afective DO: Is a possibility, it would be, if u had other symptoms, like a low, poor mood , poor motivation, loss of interests, lack of enjoyment, change of appetite, etc. All consistent wuth a depression. In general it lasts longer than 5-8 days but it happens with the change of season . Dysthimia in winter and some patients experience increase of mood and energy in the spring or summer time.
