Go to Sleep and Stay Asleep
With shorter days and longer nights, many of us find ourselves battling the winter blues. Shorter daylight hours can disrupt our sleep patterns, leaving us feeling tired, sluggish, and even more susceptible to seasonal depression. At Wholeness Center, promoting healthy sleep habits is a cornerstone of good mental health, especially during the winter months.
Understanding the Impact of Winter on Sleep
Our bodies rely on a natural internal clock called the circadian rhythm. This 24-hour cycle regulates various bodily functions, including sleep-wake cycles. During the winter, with less natural sunlight, our circadian rhythm can become dysregulated. Which may cause difficulty falling asleep, waking up feeling unrested, and experiencing daytime fatigue.
