Sleep is different in Winter. ❄️❄️❄️We’re all aware of our sleep when the clocks go back in Autumn, however this ‘change’ and impact doesn’t stop then. The clocks going back signifies the start of the changing light that we experience during winter months. In an ideal scenario, our sleep patterns would change with the seasons, however, we know that this is not always doable due to modern working patterns and expectations.SAD is a response to the lack of natural light we get during this time of year. 🌅 We need light from the sun to trigger certain things in our bodies and brains and when there is a lack of this, it can mean that we experience certain negative impacts.We may also feel less inclined to participate in social events at this time of year which can lead to an increase in loneliness. Loneliness is not good for our sleep either as we need to feel safe and secure to be able to access quality, restful sleep. So, how can we support ourselves this Winter?☀️ Get as much daylight as possible, as early as possible and throughout the day. An SAD light might help with mood to help you top up on natural light throughout the day.🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Try to make connections throughout the day. While Winter is a natural time to slow down and rest, try not to hide yourself away too much. Interactions with our friends, family or even acquaintances can help us to feel connected and safe.💤 You might want to switch up your routine a little, but still try to keep a morning and evening routine - this will help your body to understand the cues for waking up and winding down consistently. If you have questions or want to chat further about this, either send me a DM or you can email me at kat@drkatsleep.com. ...
