1. As holiday lights brighten streets and the season of cheer unfolds, Dec. 21 marks the winter solstice this year -- a reminder that the darkest day of the year is upon us. For the more than 6 billion people living in the Northern Hemisphere, this astronomical event signals not only the shortest day but also the longest night of the year. If you live anywhere north of the equator, this will be the day with the least amount of sunlight. Do you typically find yourself more tired on days with less sunlight?
