Spring fatigue

Switching from winter hibernation mode to spring energy is easier when your waking hours follow the natural rhythm of daylight. As the days get longer and the sun rises earlier, try setting your alarm a little earlier too – your body will thank you for it.

Exercise in the fresh air works wonders against spring fatigue, but even small steps help: take the stairs instead of the elevator, or walk to your colleague’s desk instead of calling.

Alternating between hot and cold water boosts circulation and wakes up your body. Start with your arms and neck, or go for a full-body contrast shower in the morning.

Opt for fresh fruits and vegetables and have several small meals throughout the day. Avoid heavy, fatty foods and sugary snacks – they divert energy to digestion and leave you feeling sluggish.

Fatigue is often linked to dehydration. Aim to drink about 1.5 liters (50 oz) of fluids throughout the day – water, herbal teas, or other unsweetened drinks are best.

Whether it’s a night out with friends, a workout with a buddy, or a family movie night – spending time with others lifts your spirits and helps fight off low moods.

Vibrant colors like red can actually lift your mood and help fight tiredness. Sometimes a little wardrobe boost is all you need!

Everyone has those go-to songs that bring instant good vibes. Create a playlist of your favorite feel-good tracks and let the energy flow.

Sunlight stimulates the production of serotonin, the “happiness hormone,” and reduces melatonin, the sleep hormone. If possible, skip the sunglasses now and then – your body needs light through the retina to fully benefit.

Natural supplements like vitamin B12, ashwagandha capsules, or “Mental-Fit” tonic from Dr.Dünner can support mental focus and boost your nervous system. They help fight fatigue and get you naturally spring-ready – inside and out.
