Winter mornings are lazy. Many times it happens that we are unable to leave the blanket and quilt and go out for work. No matter how many alarms we set, we cannot escape sleep. Some people start feeling sleepy in the evening. Although, this is not a serious problem, but there are some scientific reasons behind it. In cold weather, a hormone is released in our body, which changes the sleep pattern. So let us know what health experts say on this.
These 3 main reasons for sleepiness in winter
less exposure to sunlight
During cold weather, days become shorter and nights become longer, due to which we are less exposed to sunlight. This affects our body's circadian rhythm, which gives messages to our body about when to sleep and when to wake up. This change causes more sleep.
Vitamin D deficiency
Due to lack of adequate sunlight in winter, the body becomes deficient in Vitamin D. This vitamin is very important for the body, and its deficiency also affects the sleep pattern. In the video shared on Sadhna Health YouTube page, it has been told how this weather affects our sleep.
mood swings
During the winter season, many people face problems like sadness, anxiety, stress and lack of happiness, which is called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). At this time our brain starts getting tired, which increases sleep.
