There’s a reason why most of us feel blah on rainy days...

If you feel tired or unmotivated on a rainy day – there’s a good reason for that...  

In a recent study, participants were asked to keep journals for 105 days. Those journals were then crosschecked with the NOAH weather database, which revealed some interesting findings. First and foremost, people felt a lot more tired on rainy days. Ironically, the journalists actually slept much better at night at the end of a sunny day.

Experts say the body doesn’t produce enough serotonin on rainy days and that can take a big toll on everyday activities. Simple tasks will likely feel much more difficult, especially if it’s been raining or cloudy for several days in a row. 

If we don’t do much on a rainy day, we’re probably not burning up enough energy to get a sound sleep that night. On a sunny productive day, we’ve done more to warrant the sleep that night. And the contrast of sunshine to dark night triggers a much stronger sleep signal.
