Spring fatigue is typical after the winter period. Warmer sunny weather and longer days are slowly waking up nature, and us. The promise of early summer can positively adjust our mindset. We are so much more open to new challenges, to change. Our mind is working at full speed, but with the body it can be different. Spring is also associated with typical fatigue.
Everything starts already in winter. This is partly due to the absence of sunshine and vitamin D. Early darkness affects our biorhythm. During the winter, we function more or less in “autopilot” mode. Our whole organism is focused on one goal only – to survive the winter; as a legacy from our ancestors. To be able to fulfil it, it adapts the functioning of the whole body to this. It is true that during the winter we tend to like more hearty meals, and we try to avoid more strenuous physical activity or postpone it until warmer times of the year. It is the same with the mental side of our personality, which is also in a kind of ‘saving mode’. With the arrival of spring, however, we start to plan fully, we feel like making changes, conquering new challenges. While the mind, thanks to the sun’s rays and the increasingly longer days, is working to its fullest, the body is lagging behind. You may have experienced this too. You’re planning to finally start running, but you can barely get home from work – so you’d rather take a nap in front of the TV. The cause is primarily a lack of vitamins and antioxidants. During the winter, the body needs them to boost immunity, which is under constant attack from ubiquitous viruses and bacteria.That is why we feel lethargic, tired, without energy and even more sensitive to stress.
