Winter’s shorter days disrupt circadian rhythms, increasing melatonin production and daytime fatigue. Reduced sunlight also reduces vitamin D levels, weakening immune defences. At the same time, cold exposure demands extra cellular energy for thermoregulation, straining already taxed systems. These overlapping challenges create a precarious balance in which sleep quality directly affects…

Winter tiredness often stems from shorter days, less sunlight, and routine changes that disrupt sleep and drain energy. Reduced light increases melatonin, making you feel sleepier, and lowers vitamin D, which can affect mood. People also tend to move less and eat more comfort foods, which can lead to sluggishness. Daily…

Winter’s chill triggers vasoconstriction, reducing blood flow to extremities as the body prioritises core warmth. This narrowed circulation limits oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues while slowing metabolic waste removal. Cellular enzymes operate at suboptimal efficiency at low temperatures, and rigidified cell membranes impede nutrient exchange. The body’s thermoregulatory demands divert…
