With daylight saving time behind us and the winter solstice approaching on December 21, shorter days and longer nights are the new normal. While gaining an extra hour of sleep is a luxury, the darker skies can affect our mood and lead to the winter blues for some individuals. If you find yourself craving more time under the covers and feeling a bit down, here are seven natural ways to lift your spirits and beat the winter blues.
If you experience lingering seasonal depression, it’s important to seek professional help and consider light therapy, also known as phototherapy, for seasonal affective disorder.
