Why is getting up so hard from November to March?

It isn’t laziness: our body clock learns from light that it’s morning. What happens on dark mornings, and what you can do about it.

In mid-December the sun rises in Budapest at 7:25 am. Our body clock is set every morning by light: without it, melatonin stays high and the cortisol peak that wakes us up gets blurred. A gradual sunrise mimics nature and makes waking easier. Get outside early, keep a consistent wake time, skip the snooze button and dim the lights in the evening.
