I always feel a bit more tired than usual in the beginning of autumn, it is because as the days get shorter and darker, it happens every year

As soon as it starts to get dark my brain says it's bedtime and I feel tired.

I have trouble leaving my bed in the dark mornings, but work beckons.

I do prefer the darker evenings, i enjoy walking my dogs in the cold night air.

Yes. I work 12hr nightshifts so see very little daylight.

Yes and I love it, love going into hibernation mode. Do you bulk during autumn/winter Shags?

Takes me a while to adjust. I think most of us are the same. Today I definitely feel slower starting.

Yes! The dark mornings and early evenings are a killer!

I think it is the same for most people. The light particularly makes you want to get up and do stuff. When it is dark and grey you certainly feel different and your energy levels dip a bit.

Nothing more tiring than when the alarm goes off, it’s still dark and you stick your foot out of the bed and feel how cold it is.

I can’t wait for it to be April again

I find it a bit more difficult getting out of bed in the morning when it’s still so dark outside.

Yesterday Shag was gorgeous but that autumnal chill is here.

Summer clothes packed away.

Dark early.. Morning glory.. Red sky shepherd warning here today.

Its grey here with red sky.. Does it tire me out.. Sometimes. Keeping active helps, routine for me. Up early, dark, evening time dark. Especially when clocks go back 28th October 2023.

Supplement vitamin D people

Even in the summer most of the time the sun isn’t strong enough to get enough vitamin D

Do the sun bed test. Hit a sunbed 1-3 times a week and see if your energy levels increase

Yep when autumn is here it’s VitD 4000iu a day for me! May try one of those light panel things this year too!

I go to bed earlier as nights get darker and cooler.

It’s good to be in touch with the cycles and make adjustments. You make more melatonin in winter and your body needs more fat, try and face the sun as it’s rising and get a couple minutes on your closed eye. If I’m in the uk I change from skimmed to semi skimmed milk and get 1-2 hours more sleep a night

"Nope! It wakes me up"

Will you wake me up then ? and no I don't mean by dropping a wet flannel on my face ( unless that's a eumphanism for something else )

.

No. If anything I have more energy. Too much heat, the long brightness of days quickly depletes my energy.

Autumn though?

Autumn I find I have more energy, love staying up late. Waking up early and enjoying that brisk weather where you can see your breath. Love long walks through the woods in this sort of weather. I'm quite good at ensuring I get enough Vitamin D, it's more...

I'm better in Autumn.

Darker days weigh heavily on me & lower my mood.

Yes, it is good to be in touch with the cycles, that is good you are making those changes too
