December is Seasonal Affective Disorder Awareness (SAD) month

December is Seasonal Affective Disorder Awareness (SAD) month. So how does sleep affect Seasonal Affective Disorder? SAD is a type of depression that affects people’s moods in response to the seasons. It’s more common in winter due to the lack of Vitamin D.
Symptoms include:

- poor sleep
- low energy
- low mood
- poor overall wellbeing

The hormones serotonin and melatonin are vitally important in maintaining a body’s daily rhythm tied to seasonal night-day cycles. These hormone levels change within a person with SAD and lead to sleep, mood and behavioural changes due to the body being unable to season change in day length.

A good mattress can help alleviate symptoms of low mood and fatigue by aiding and providing a good quality sleep for a person with SAD.
