The short days of winter can make you feel like you have a low energy level and can also a몭ect your mood. Studies have shown that people with this condition are more prone to overeating and fatigue when they lack light exposure. Treating this condition includes getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, and exercising regularly. Here are a few e몭ective ways to combat seasonal depression.

Sunlight Exposure Getting enough sunlight is vital for people with seasonal a몭ective disorder as it provides them with the necessary vitamin D to maintain a healthy and balanced body. Light therapy boxes or dawn simulators are e몭ective ways to improve light exposure, but you can also add a lighter color to your home to make it more natural.

Staying Busy Before winter, start setting goals and developing a schedule that 몭ts your needs. Having a set of plans can help keep you focused on the positive and prevent you from getting tired. Regular work is one of the most e몭ective ways to keep yourself motivated. Whether sorting out a cluttered closet or organizing your photos, routine work can help keep you motivated and provide a sense of accomplishment.
