When this kicks in, I get an urge to eat a large amount of high caloric foods including desserts and to sleep for many many hours. If I comply with this, the situation is manageable. When summer and heat returns, I loses interest in food and will automatically drop the extra weight gained during winter.

I have this too. Are you saying you feel better when you do eat the high caloric/sweet foods?

Yes, much better. I have tried not eating high caloric/sweet foods to be more healthy, but then the winter months just became pure hell. If I eat the food, I'm able to get things done and be functional.

The high carbs work for me too but sweet/sugary foods just makes me hungry so fast that I can't concentrate for long before I'm distracted by it.
