Light deprivation occurs in the long winter months but your body’s natural circadian rhythm can also be affected by shift work and travel causing reversed sleeping patterns. The out of balance rhythm can also be seen in the reversed sleep patterns of nights owls and teens.
Our bodies need bright light in order to elevate serotonin, the body’s natural “feel good” chemical. Bright light also suppresses melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone that is released when we sleep. By getting the right amount of light during the day and avoiding it at night can have more energy, improved mood and better sleep.
Some signs of light deprivation or out of balance circadian rhythm include:
Winter Blues or S.A.D.
depressed mood
low energy
irritability
difficulty concentrating
sleeping difficulties or reversed sleep patterns
mild anxiety or depression
over eating and/or carbohydrate cravings
social withdrawal
reduced libido
reduced testosterone levels
