It is November and the MIX Morning Crew are officially in denial that winter is knocking on the door. You look out the window and see pitch-black skies… and its only 5:15 PM!
Sean Kelly, Mariam Serkal and Dr Julie Gowthorpe RSW sit down today to talk about daylight saving time and how we cope.
If you’ve been feeling sluggish, unmotivated, or just dealing with the blahs, you’re not alone. Why does this week hit us so hard?
When we lose evening sunlight, our circadian rhythm, our body’s internal clock, has to adjust. Changes in daylight can affect serotonin, which influences mood, and melatonin, which regulates sleep. So, if you’re feeling heavy, you’re not lazy or unmotivated. Your body is adjusting to a seasonal change.
