Example text

We just get irritable when a 40-mile an hour wind comes blowing through when we’re trying to walk our dogs. That’s not fun at all. A tale from the south There are far fewer cases of SAD as you approach the equator, and the cases are likely due to the weather (heat) and not a lack of light. But in the pursuit of science and our desire to leave no stone unturned, we decided that an expedition closer to the equator was in order. The locals of Merida, Yucatan Mexico, claim that the gentle afternoon breeze has been arriving from the same direction for thousands of years.

Chapter 3: Who Gets SAD and Why? Disruptions in the levels and even the rhythms of the production of these hormones can have serious negative consequences for mood, energy, sleep, and health. Months, seasons, and chemistry Sometimes melatonin fluctuates across seasons (which is called a circannual rhythm) not just the day. Serotonin, an important chemical (technically called a neurotransmitter) that helps regulate mood, also has a seasonal and daily variation. In the winter, serotonin levels typically decrease for most people.

Humans are diurnal, which means that they’re active and working during the day, and they sleep at night (at least the majority of them). Your circadian rhythm is largely set by light. In general, darkness signals the body to slow down and prepare for sleep. Dawn stimulates an awakening process. As days shorten in the winter, your circadian rhythm tells you to go to sleep earlier and wake up later. These natural rhythms have been affected by the advent of electric lights and alarm clocks as you see in the following section.
