Why do you feel so tired in winter? Why you feel so tired in winter explained with medical causes of seasonal fatigue.

Winter fatigue is commonly linked to reduced daylight exposure, circadian rhythm disruption, lower physical activity, and mood changes. This episode explains the biological mechanisms behind seasonal tiredness and when fatigue may indicate an underlying health condition.

You will learn:

• How shorter daylight hours affect melatonin, serotonin, and sleep cycles

• The role of vitamin D levels and reduced outdoor activity

• Differences between normal winter fatigue and seasonal affective disorder (SAD)

• Other medical causes of persistent tiredness (anaemia, thyroid disorders, infection, sleep disturbance)

• Evidence-based strategies to improve energy levels

• When medical evaluation is necessary (fatigue lasting several weeks, unexplained weight changes, low mood, shortness of breath, persistent weakness)

We also outline how fatigue symptoms are assessed during remote consultation, including medical history review, duration, associated symptoms, and red-flag screening.

This episode is educational and does not replace urgent or emergency medical care.
