We are unaware of them: These are the dangers of winter time counting

The return in the fall is welcomed by many after wanting to get up later.

However, some people don't even get it right, so they'll feel slow for the first days after change of time.

New research conducted in America and Europe shows that winter change increases the risk of depression for many during winter.

Most people enjoy spending an extra hour of sleep when summertime is over. However, early evening dusk makes some people more tired,” said Ragu Upender, one of the directors of the sleep disorders centre at the University Medical Center in Nashville.

The extra exposure to the sun's rays can “replace <x1) biological clock and help depressed people cope with the time difference.

Light regulates the melaton hormone, which controls sleep cycles. Simply put, light stimulates melatonin production, and darkness “prevents” that.

This explains why many people often feel tired in autumn and winter, when days are shorter and fewer hours are sunny.

Most people adapt to “changing” within weeks, especially with the help of exposure to the sun during the day.

Recent research shows that there are more and more serious cases of depression immediately after “changing time”.

In one study, researchers analyzed the data for 1995-2012 from Denmark and found that the number of persons diagnosed with depression in psychiatric hospitals increased shortly after the change from the winter day's savings.

The number of diagnosiss of “depression” in the month after time change is about 8 percent higher than normal, according to a study recently published in Epidemiology magazine. Experts warn that the increase is too high to be accidental.

“We are relatively sure that the passage from the time of day savings to winter (standard) causes an increase in the number of depressed diagnosiss,” says study author Soren Ostergard, from Aarhus University in Denmark.

Researchers did not identify the reasons for increasing depression after changing time, but they cited several possible causes.

It is likely that the benefits of the morning light will be between 7 and 8 a.m. less than “damage from returning home from work in the afternoon or in the dark.

In the morning, people usually bathe, shower, eat breakfast, drive by car (autobus), and even “do not notice the dark light”. However, until afternoon when they come home and want to do something or walk, it is already dark and there is no daylight.

Moreover, the transition to standard time is likely linked to the negative psychological effects, as it very clearly marks entry over a period of long, dark, and cold days.

These results should lead to an increase in awareness of depression after passing from summer to winter. This is especially important for people who are often or occasionally depressed.

We remind you that in winter you should stay outside the house and outside the building more often during the day, especially on weekends. To reduce “the winter depression, freeze the lighting in your work and home areas.
