If You’re Feeling

If You Start Feeling “Sad”

Winter is on the way and with it a major reduction in the hours of sunshine. For many people, these months take a heavy toll on your mood and well-being. Well, there’s a reason why.

It’s called Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, and it can cause the winter blues between October and March.

If it affects you, or others in the household in which you work, rest assured that this is not uncommon.  Around 20% of people in the UK suffer from winter blues each year. The result can lead to reduced energy, irritability and low mood. According to the Royal Society of Psychiatrists, SAD leads to significant depression in about 3% of the population. Does this ring bells?

From 25th November, the sun will rise after 7:30am and set before 4pm. That gives us around eight hours of daylight.

So how can you keep the energy levels of yourself and other effected high?

One very simple way is to ensure that you retain as much natural light in the home as possible.

Keep blinds and curtains open. Taking a walk outside if the weather is acceptable helps absorb natural light. Finally, special lamps are available which simulate daylight.

They are only small alterations, but may just help keep you keep the winter blues away.
