why are humans more tired than usual entering into the fall season?

Question

Seems my fiance & I are more tired then usual as we approach the fall season. Does anyone know if there is a medical reason for this?

Answer 1

Its the change in the amount of light we get each day, its less during the fall and winter. Some people also have condition called seasonal affect disorder where they become tired, depressed and sometimes anxious. This is also associated with the amount of light we are exposed to during the fall and winter. Try to get outside more if this isn't possible try going to a tanning booth. If your worried about the damage from tanning booths use a good sun block and only stay in the booth for a short time 3 to 4 minutes your not looking to get tanned just to get the benifits of the extra light. There are also special lights you can buy and sit under for 20 minutes a day. They are expensive though usually around $400.00 hope this helps.

Answer 2

Also if you're in a place that has actual climate changes corresponding to seasons, your body chemistry has to change to adapt to different temps. Ever notice how 60 deg. feels warm in winter, but cold in summer? That's because your body chemistry has adapted to the ambient temperature. This puts the body under stress for a few days while the change is occurring, makes you tired, can cause gastric upsets, etc.

Answer 3

I really don't think it is medical, summer is busy, exciting and fun, by the time fall gets here and we start to slow down on our work and/or activities our bodies seem to go into a fall fever kinda like spring fever only in reverse.

Answer 4

falling and downed leaves begin growing mould as they rot.its a potent allergen.allergenic substances cause the human body to release histamines,a substance of which one affect is marked lethargy.spring and its growing season,autumn and its decay,both cause the body to release histamine.in some people,it may only be a feeling of malaise,in others,stuffy nose.sneezing,itchy,runny eyes,etc. may be present as well.also may be a vestigial reaction to shortening daylight hours,as ancient man nodoubt probably ate more,and grew tired,in order to conserve fat and energy reserves in order to make it thru the winter.

Answer 5

combination of lack of sunshine, and the time change, it takes the body a while to adjust to that. the days are shorter (daylight) so we feel more tired.

Answer 6

because its the time of the year where every body's like that because of lack of sun and stuff like that
