Winter Sunlight and Mood: Beating the January Blues Naturally
• Reduced sunlight in January can disrupt sleep cycles and lower vitamin D levels, leading to the 'January blues'.
• Morning walks and light therapy lamps can help increase sunlight exposure and regulate mood during winter.
• Consistent sleep schedules, balanced meals, and regular physical activity support mental well-being in winter.
Short daylight affects energy and mood
The short daylight hours of early January can significantly impact energy levels and overall mood, even in the absence of severe winter storms. This phenomenon, often referred to as the 'January blues,' is largely attributed to the reduced exposure to sunlight during this time of year.
