Written on 10/20/2025 by Pauline de Santarome
For many of us, the cold season is synonymous with low energy and low morale. Indeed, sunlight has scientifically proven effects on our well-being; that's why, during the famous months ending in "-ber," taking dietary supplements can be an effective and sensible option.
Why do we feel tired in winter?
If you feel extremely tired during the winter months and sometimes find everyday life more difficult to cope with, there are several factors that could be causing this.
☀️Vitamin D deficiency:Wintermeansless sunlight. However, sunlight triggers the secretion of vitamin D, an essential ally for our health that helps improve the quality of our sleep. The benefits of vitamin D don't stop there: it also helps facilitate the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, thereby improving bone mineralization.
💤 Melatonin: Melatoninis a substance naturally produced by the brain, specifically by the pineal gland. By synchronizing circadian rhythms (the sleep-wake cycle), melatonin improves sleep onset and sleep quality. In winter, the days get shorter and there is less light. As a result, our bodies secrete melatonin earlier. Signals telling us to fall asleep are then sent to our brains, which can make us feel tired even though the day is far from over.
🌡 Low temperatures: Whenthe warm weather disappears, our bodies expend more energy every day to fight the cold. This energy expenditure can be tiring in the long term.
😢 Seasonal affective disorder:Like 2% of French people, you maybe suffering from genuine seasonal depression. In some people, the decrease in daylight causes a real, medically recognized pathological melancholy. This disorder can be treated with light therapy, among other things. If you are suffering from depression, it is important to take this disorder seriously and consult a doctor.
🦠 The spread of viruses: Winteris conducive to the wider spread of viruses and diseases. The immune system is therefore working hard to keep us healthy, which leads to a significant drop in energy levels.
