Caption: How to get a good night's sleep in winter. Kora Habinakova, a sleep expert at SleepSeeker, has provided her expert tips for improving your sleep during winter. Go outside. Any form of natural sunlight, even on cloudy days, can have a positive impact on your sleep quality and general mood. “If you're able to, take a longer lunch break or a mid-morning walk to increase the amount of time you spend outside during daylight hours.” Light therapy. With less natural sunlight and fewer daylight hours during the autumn and winter, spending time outdoors can sometimes not be enough. ”Artificial light therapy is a good way to regulate your circadian rhythm and boost your mood. We recommend using a lightbox or a SAD lamp to increase your exposure to light.” Regular exercise. Exercising regularly has a multitude of health benefits, including increasing serotonin levels in the brain. "SAD results from a reduction in serotonin, so adding exercise to your daily routine can not only positively impact your mood and general well-being, but also help to alleviate other symptoms of SAD such as disturbed sleep.” Consult a mental health professional. If you suspect that you have SAD or are experiencing symptoms of depression, consider contacting a mental health professional for professional diagnoses and a personalised treatment plan.
