Do you feel extremely tired even though spring has arrived and your mood is supposed to be uplifted? It turns out there's an explanation for this — and it's not just a possible allergy.
The exact cause of spring fatigue is explained by Marca.
Why do you feel tired and apathetic in spring
Every spring, as if allergies and pollen weren’t enough, the clocks change. Losing an hour of sleep and disrupting your biological clock can lead to fatigue, irritability, and mood swings. According to experts, this adjustment can affect the body for several days or even weeks, depending on the person.
In some cases, the body adjusts quickly; in others, the feeling of fatigue lasts longer than we'd like. Is it spring depression? While many people associate spring with joy and energy, some experience quite the opposite: feelings of sadness and apathy.
This is related to changes in sunlight and the production of hormones such as melatonin and serotonin. The good news is that it usually doesn’t last long—just two to three weeks until the body adjusts.
How to combat spring fatigue and apathy
Get out into the daylight to help your body regulate its sleep-wake cycle.
Stick to a sleep routine, even if the sun sets later. Stay hydrated and eat well - water isn’t just for flowers.
Keep moving, even if it’s just a walk, to avoid spring sluggishness. Embrace the changes and give yourself time to adjust.
Spring can affect your blood, as well as your sleep, mood, and motivation. The key is to give your body time and enjoy the longer days without losing hope. Hang in there - summer is just around the corner!
