The autumn blues are a common reaction of the body to seasonal changes, doctors say. Daylight hours are decreasing, and so is vitality. “The quality of sleep and mood deteriorate in autumn-winter period and affective disorder, a seasonal depression, occurs, which is also associated with a lack of sunlight. About ten percent of people are very sensitive to this,” describes Alexander Kalinkin, head of the Center for Sleep Medicine at the Medical Research and Educational Center of Lomonosov Moscow State University.
Vitamin D and fresh air
Vitamin D gives a feeling of joy and enhances mood, and is produced with the help of sunlight. Do not close the blinds at work, ventilate a room more often, and go out on breaks. Taking vitamin D orally should also help.
Clean eating and more water
