If you find yourself feeling a little less cheerful than you were when days are going from summer to autumn, it's not your imagination (想象): There is a science-backed reason why you're more likely to feel down in the cooler months.
"It's real," said Kathryn Roecklein, a professor in University of Pittsburgh. "The changes don't always affect (影响) everyone in the same way," she added. But seasonal mood (情绪) changes often include less energy, feeling less social, losing interest in favourite activities and changes in sleep—you may have trouble sleeping or want to sleep more than usual.
There are a lot of reasons why our moods may change with the different seasons, but one big reason is ▲. "The hours of each day which are shorter in winter and longer in summer, are the main reason," said Roecklein. The sunsets are on their way to getting earlier and earlier as soon as autumn begins, so it's not surprising if you feel those mood changes around the same time.
One key point to remember about the "winter blues" is that it's not something we cannot overcome (克服). Here are a few things you can do. First, get yourself bathed in the sun. A walk outside in the sun in the morning will surely make you feel better. Second, eat right. Try more fruits, vegetables and drink plenty of water. Besides, make time for your friends. It is said that a good chat with your best friends makes your day.
