Good Morning !
With the end of Daylight Saving Time, the resulting lack of sunlight at the end of the day, plus colder weather and less time outdoors, can have an impact on our mental well-being.
I for one am affected by it, getting up in the early morning and going to work in the dark has been my normal for years but the short days and early evening darkness has its effect on me, I feel tired much earlier and ” Down in the Dumps ” kind of feeling at this time of year.
Here are some tips I have found that work for me to Ease Winter SAD Symptoms.
Spend more time outdoors during the day.
Try to arrange your living room furniture to maximize sunlight exposure.
Keep curtains open during the day.
Make a habit of taking a daily noon-hour walk or a walk in the daylight hours .
Try to resist the carbohydrate and sleep cravings that come with SAD.
Be Pro Active and do more physical activity before SAD symptoms take hold.
There are professional treatments for SAD as well, including light therapy, medication and counselling.
When all else fails, try a sun lamp or spend more money on a winter vacation down south ” Be Covid Careful ”
