Hot yoga. Indoor climbing. Both if you can. Activity + heat + big, bright open space that tricks your brain into thinking you’re getting outdoor sunlight.

No problem!

Honestly though, try to take this time to get into a hobby. I’ve also heard that light therapy works for some folks.

Vitamin D supplements make a huge difference for those of us that lose a ton of sunlight as well.

Now imagine how much it sucks when summer depresses you and ‘I simply love this season the most’ is something you hear all day every day

A light box for SAD. Mine is on a timer and I use it as an alarm clock. It really works.

Bright daylight bulbs, or good colour changing bulbs to simulate sunshine.

When it is bright outside, go outside and get some sun! Even if it’s cold, you’re still going to get some benefit.

Get an indoor air quality monitor. Open your windows and let in as much fresh air as the outside temperature allows. Cold weather = people don’t open windows = carbon dioxide and other shit builds up inside.

Circulate air with fans or central air set to fan only.
