INSIGHT

Summer Causes Circadian Whiplash

  • Summer disrupts circadian rhythm through late nights, travel and alcohol which leaves your nervous system sluggish.
  • This 'physiological whiplash' makes returning to normal schedules feel harder than it should.
INSIGHT

Less Light Alters Mood And Energy

  • Reduced daylight interacts with serotonin and melatonin and undermines mood and energy as seasons change.
  • Feeling tearful or sleepy in September is a biological response, not a personality flaw.
ADVICE

Move And Get Morning Light First

  • Start your day with movement and morning light before screens, even a five-squat burst or a short walk.
  • Aim for outdoor light before 9am to help regulate hormones and reduce reliance on caffeine.
