How to Avoid Seasonal Depression in WA
Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD is very common in WA can make a negative impact on your studies.
Some tips to avoid Seasonal Affective Disorder :
• Schedule social activities throughout the season or take a vacation to a sunny locale.
• Use a dawn simulator, a device that gradually increases the light in the bedroom in the early-morning hours to help you wake up more naturally.
• Avoid the temptation of carbohydrate-laden “comfort foods.” The quick spike and drop in glucose can affect mood and energy levels.
• Get outside and walk during the day as much as you can.
• Connect your lamp to a timer that turns the light on in the early morning before the sun comes out.
