Are you tired and gloomy behind your laptop during autumn and winter mornings because it’s still dark outside? Due to poor (daytime) light exposure, the body continues to produce melatonin (sleep hormone) and less serotonin (happiness hormone) throughout the day. The result is that you are more tired and darker. The ingredients for a winter blues or a dip. Did you know that for some people the winter blues is so bad it can be called depression?
