What you should pay attention to is the lighting in the house or apartment. On short daylight days, rooms should be as bright as possible. It is recommended to use bright lamps with natural spectrum. It is also important not to close windows during the day. Curtains and blinds should be kept open to make the most of natural light. The more light around us, the easier it is for the body to maintain activity.

This simple step does not require much time, but brings noticeable results: fresh air and sunlight help the body to tune in to the right rhythm and activate its work.

We should not forget about nutrition. When there is not enough light, it is helpful to eat more fruits rich in vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin D, which helps make up for the lack of sunlight.
Taking care of yourself is a reliable support in the cold season. And start small: open the curtains, go outside, go to bed on time. Your body will thank you.
