Why are we sleepy and upset when it rains?

If you have trouble functioning when it rains and want to spend a rainy day under a blanket don't worry, you're not alone. Research has confirmed that most people have the same problem and science has explained why it happens to us.

Our bodies are in harmony with nature. The circadian rhythm is the so-called natural clock built into our brain. It controls biological processes such as sleep and appetite, and it is difficult to fight it.

Rain and bad mood

Biology is full of explanations for why we feel so sleepy when it rains. For example, science has repeatedly confirmed that there is a connection between the weather and our emotional state.

A 2011 study confirmed that nine percent of people get angry more easily when it's raining, and the same life situations don't bother them as much on sunny days. This situation has to do with ultraviolet radiation, or the lack of it. Like most living things, humans need light to function. It has been proven that sunlight increases the level of serotonin, the happy hormone that we lack during rainy days.

Drita e zbehtë gjithashtu stimulon gjendrën pineale për të prodhuar melatonin, një hormon që rregullon ritmin e lartpërmendur cirkadian. Kur melatonina “rritet”, ne natyrshëm ndihemi të përgjumur. Kjo është arsyeja pse njerëzit që vuajnë nga pagjumësia e përdorin këtë hormon si terapi.

Fajtori për përgjumjen tonë kur bie shi është lagështia. Në ditët kur shiu e bën ajrin të rëndë dhe ngjitës, lagështia mund të jetë dobësuese për mekanizmat e trupit për t’u ftohur, thotë Michelle Drerup, MD, drejtore e mjekësisë së gjumit të sjelljes në Klinikën Cleveland.

Gjërat e vogla që ndihmojnë

Nëse detyrimet tona të përditshme na lejojnë ta kalojmë ditën kështu, duhet ta përqafojmë dhe ta shijojmë. Nëse ende nuk mund ta përballoni këtë luks, mund të lexoni më poshtë disa këshilla që do t’ju ndihmojnë të mposhtni këtë ndikim të ditëve me shi.

Although it doesn't sound like the number one choice, especially on a dreary and cold day, a short workout is the best way to beat rain drowsiness.

If you feel sleepy at work, leave your desk, take a walk and talk to your colleagues. The best way is to walk with a colleague for a few minutes, with a chat and a coffee. In this way, you will quickly and easily eradicate the heavy feeling that has taken over you.

Spend time outside. Despite being cloudy and gloomy, the light will still have a positive effect on you. Go out on the terrace and take a few minutes to breathe in the fresh air. A closed and dark room is the worst enemy, says the study.
