Friends, the winter season has begun in the country, especially in North India, where the biting cold has troubled people in many areas.  During this season, daily routines change completely. People prefer warm clothes, hot drinks, and nutritious food to stay healthy in the cold. In this cold weather, problems like cold hands and feet, lethargy, and difficulty getting out of bed become common. Even after getting enough sleep, many people feel tired and sleepy throughout the day. Let's find out the reasons:

Reduced Physical Activity

Cold weather often limits outdoor activities and exercise. Reduced physical activity makes the body sluggish, leading to fatigue and increased sleepiness.

Increased Melatonin Levels

In winter, shorter days and less sunlight lead to increased melatonin levels, making you feel sleepy for longer periods.

Increased Energy Requirement

In winter, the body needs more energy to maintain warmth. To conserve energy, the body signals you to rest more, which increases the desire to sleep.

Stress and Mental Fatigue

Changes in weather, work pressure, and less sunlight can increase stress levels. Stress not only affects mental health but also causes excessive sleepiness.

Eat Warm and Healthy Food

To stay active and healthy in winter, include warm and nutritious foods in your diet such as soups, dry fruits, whole grains, and seasonal vegetables.
