Do You Have Seasonal Affective Disorder? 8 Signs & Ways to Help

Every year, approximately 10 million Americans experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), with another 10-20% suffering from a milder form known as the “winter blues.”

For these individuals, the shorter, darker days of fall and winter trigger a profound shift in mood and energy that can significantly impact daily life—and even have cascading adverse effects on overall health.

Your Weekend Reset

Ready for a weekly reset? Try a few of these tips to unwind, connect, or get creative. We’ve got you covered to make the most of your downtime!

  • Try a New Meditation Style: If meditation hasn’t clicked for you, maybe you just haven’t found the right kind. Guided meditation can walk you through the process, silent meditation can be a mental reset, and walking meditation lets you move while you clear your head. Try a few styles and see what actually works for you. No pressure, no expectations, just a chance to slow down and check in with yourself. (If you haven’t tried a guided meditation yet, our wonderful editor Sarah has made a bunch for our youtube channel!)

  • Do a Tech-Free Morning: Wake up and resist the urge to grab your phone first thing. No emails, no news, no games, just a quiet, intentional start to the day. Make coffee, stretch, read a few pages of a book, or just sit in silence and watch the outside world for a bit. It’s shocking how different the morning feels when you don’t immediately dive into that dopamine addiction.

  • Experiment with a New Comfort Food Recipe: Find a recipe that screams comfort and go all in. Extra cheese? You know it. A ridiculous amount of butter? No one’s judging. Whether it’s a nostalgic childhood favorite or something indulgent you’ve been craving, make it exactly how you want. And if it turns into a complete disaster? Well, that’s part of the fun. Worst case scenario, you get a funny story. Best case? You just found your new go-to comfort meal.

  • Audiobook Recommendation: The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter - “If you've been looking for something different to level up your health, fitness, and personal growth, this is it.” (Melissa Urban, Whole30 CEO and New York Times best-selling author) - This one is all about getting out of your comfort zone, looking at how modern life has made things way too easy for us, and how pushing ourselves in small, intentional ways can lead to more resilience, fulfillment, and growth.
