You must have noticed that we become sad in the afternoon. The face becomes a bit serious during the day as compared to the rest of the day. What is the reason for this? It is very interesting to know this. Human beings are full of energy at different times throughout the day. But the afternoon is such a time when a person feels tired and sad. Swinberg University of Technology, Melbourne has found a connection between decreased energy levels and the mind. Let us know what has been revealed in the research on human energy levels and our sadness at different times of the day.
Why does sadness appear on the face during the day?
According to research, when someone praises us, our neural pathways get activated. It is always in search of praise. It gives a boost to the brain. Serotonin hormone is produced in this process. This is also called the happy hormone. The happy hormone itself gives many types of chemical and electrical signals which keep the brain active for a long time.
Cause of daytime fatigue

People engaged in work since morning start feeling tired. On the other hand, if you have eaten food, then the body gets in a mood to relax.
How does the body clock deteriorate when not sleeping?
Apart from this, circadian rhythm is also a reason for afternoon sadness. This is a type of body clock. Which keeps an eye on our body for 24 hours. If you do not get enough sleep at night for several days, then the circadian rhythm gets disturbed.
