Tired.

[Ani Tefillah]

I live in a country where we have 4 seasons. Spring and summer contains many light hours, but autumn and winter contains fewer and fewer light hours, so I've noticed that during the autumn and winter seasons, I can be quite tired 😴 💤. Do you have it like that, and what do you do about it? ☺️

There are basically two seasons where I live: winter, and not-winter. It's the desert so that's how it goes here. I remember winter in the mountains when it would be -17 degrees F (-27 degrees C) on the thermometer, but everything was melting in the sunlight. We had three feet (1 meter) of snow one winter and I watched it melt away in less than a week. The sunlight here is potent regardless of the time of year. Overnight is when temperatures drop.

That's interesting. ☺️ I know that in many countries around the world, it's getting light and dark at the same time each day, all the year around. I guess they who live there gets enough light all the year, but it's not so here, and I seem to forget about it each autumn, and start wondering why I'm so tired 😴 🤦🏼‍♀️ 😂.

Where I am is hades hot for 9 months and 3 months of tropical lovely.  Hmm...  I'd rather be in the mountains.   But my love likes the sweltering heat. Sigh...

Where I live, in the summer, its blazing hot. Even up to 50 C (120 F) so people stay indoors for 9 months of the year. That can cause the same type of seasonal affective disorder that affects those in much colder climates. Lack of sun can affect you.

I understand you, and I would find it very tough to live in a place like that, as I don't enjoy hot weather so much. 😊 🌷

That's true! Wow! That's really hot weather! I would have melted away, that's for sure. 😊 🌸

Try taking vitamin D supplement as you could be lacking it when you dont get enough sun on your skin . I tend to go to bed earlier as the sun sets earlier and then it is easier to get up in the mornings despite the dark and go swimming ... God taught the birds well  but we humans try to resist

As a native of Texas where it's stupidly hot much of the year, and as someone with insomnia, I tend to welcome it. I suspect it's part of our natural cycle to be less active during the colder months, but the modern world has removed the need for it since we have climate control and get food year round. I might be tired but I personally tend to feel more alive in the October - March period, and then once summer starts I go back to feeling half dead.

I am so jealous of you folks who live in 4 seasons!  I live in the desert of So Cal and it is hot from April 1 to November 1 and it is sunny every day.  The heat is brutal!  I am SO tired of the sun; it is relentless.  Even when you park your car, there is no shade as we mainly have palm trees.  Everything just burns.  

When I retire, I am moving to Vermont.  I can't wait!
