Spring fatigue is a well-known phenomenon, but why we feel so sluggish , especially when the days get longer, isn't so clear. Although we always long for the warmer days after the dark winter, our bodies often don't cooperate.
Why, what for, how come?
Instead of finally getting active and tackling all those winter-long chores, you remain tired and your hormones go haywire . This is because the body's hormonal balance changes in spring. We need different hormones than in winter, so the neurotransmitters in the brain send various signals to the body . As a result, the body uses up a lot of energy , and it takes a while to regain its equilibrium . Unfortunately, the body reacts with lethargy and mood swings, or what's known as spring fatigue .
