Spring is here and with it the fields are filled with flowers, the birds sing and the sun begins to warm up. Everything seems like a movie, but what about us? Do we also bloom or, rather, do we wither from fatigue?
You’ve probably heard the expression “spring is in the air”, but the truth is that this season can do more than just revolutionise love. Our mood and energy levels can change due to circadian rhythms, those internal clocks that regulate us and which, with the arrival of longer days, can go a little crazy.

Time change: friend or foe?
Every spring, as if we didn’t have enough with allergies and pollen, the time changes. An hour less sleep and a disrupted body clock can cause tiredness, irritability and mood swings. According to experts, this adjustment can affect the body for several days or even weeks, depending on the person. In some cases, the adjustment is quick; in others, the feeling of fatigue drags on longer than we would like.
Is spring depression real?
Although many people associate spring with joy and vitality, some people experience the opposite: a feeling of sadness and apathy. This is due to changes in sunlight and the production of hormones such as melatonin and serotonin. The good news is that it usually lasts only a short time, between two and three weeks, until the body gets used to it.
Myths and facts about spring and mood swings
- Myth: “In spring we are all happier”.
- Reality: Not everyone feels an energy boost; some experience tiredness and discouragement.
- Myth: “The time change does not affect us”.
- Reality: Yes, it does affect, and in some cases it can cause insomnia and fatigue.
- Myth: “Only autumn brings emotional downturns.”
- Reality: Spring sadness also exists, although it is less talked about.
Keys to thriving in spring
If you don’t want to spend the spring feeling like a wilted plant, here are some tricks:
- Get out into the daylight to help your body regulate the sleep-wake cycle.
- Maintain a sleep routine, even though the sun sets later.
- Stay hydrated and eat well, because it’s not just flowers that need water.
- Move, even if it’s just a walk, to avoid spring lethargy.
- Accept change and give yourself time to adapt.
So yes, spring can alter the blood, but also sleep, mood and the desire to do things. The key is to give the body time and enjoy the longer days without despairing. Take heart, summer is just around the corner!

Panthers optimistic injured captain Aleksander Barkov could return for Game 3
SUNRISE, Fla. — Florida Panthers coach Paul Maurice indicated on Saturday morning that his injured captain, Aleksander Barkov, could play in Game 3 against Tampa Bay later in the day.“He has to take warmups,” Maurice said a couple of hours before the scheduled 1 p.m. ET puck drop. “He has to get through it. We think he’s good.”AdvertisementOn Friday, Maurice said Barkov hadn’t been ruled out for Game 3 but also hadn’t yet been cleared.The defending champion Panthers lead the series, 2-0.Barkov, one of the NHL’s best two-way players, was injured in the third period of Game 2 when he was walloped by a blind side hit from Tampa Bay’s Brandon Hagel. The NHL suspended Hagel one game for the hit, largely because the puck was nowhere near Barkov at the time of contact.After absorbing the hit, Barkov remained on […]
Muller sinaliza reforço milionário que pode amargar reserva em 2025: “Esquema cruel”
Muller, em podcast no YouTube (Reprodução) Ciente do período de adaptação, Muller considera que Vitor Roque está devendo no Palmeiras. Jogador mais caro da história do futebol brasileiro, o camisa 9 ainda não balançou as redes, algo que contrata ao momento de protagonista de Flaco López. Neste cenário, a falta de encaixe envolvendo o estilo de Abel Ferreira pode seguir dificultando a vida do atacante. “O Vitor Roque está devendo. Pelo investimento que foi feito, ele tem que mostrar mais. Tem (fase de adaptação), mas o esquema do Palmeiras é um pouco cruel para ele. São muitas bolas cruzadas. Não é a especialidade dele.”, disse Muller, no programa Gazeta Esportiva.

Chelsea’s Romeo Lavia ‘one of the best midfielders’ says Enzo Maresca: ‘He’s unbelievable’
Enzo Maresca praised “unbelievable” Romeo Lavia after the Belgian marked his first Chelsea start since January with an impressive performance in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Everton.Lavia played 67 minutes at the base of Maresca’s midfield at Stamford Bridge with Moises Caicedo inverting from right-back to play alongside him. The pair provided a foundation for an hour of impressive Chelsea control against Everton, punctuated by Nicolas Jackson scoring his first goal of 2025 to break the deadlock in the 27th minute.AdvertisementThe withdrawal of Lavia for club captain Reece James midway through the second half precipitated an anxious finale for Chelsea as Everton pushed for an equaliser, but Maresca’s team held on to earn a victory that boosts their Champions League qualification hopes.“When he’s fit, he’s one of the best midfielders because he can defend very well, he can attack, he breaks […]
What happens if Shedeur Sanders goes undrafted? Explaining the salary difference and UDFA process
The idea of Shedeur Sanders going undrafted seemed preposterous when the 2025 NFL Draft week began. The Colorado star quarterback’s luster as a projected top-five pick may have diminished, but he was still widely mocked to land somewhere by the end of Day 1.When the first round came and went without his name being called, Sanders told the crowd at his Thursday draft party, “Tomorrow is the day.” But Friday also ended without Sanders’ name being called, dragging his slide into yet another day of speculation as Day 3 begins at noon Saturday.AdvertisementBut what happens if Day 3, consisting of rounds four to seven, also ends without Sanders being selected? An idea that never seemed plausible suddenly feels possible, and if so there are questions to be answered.Here’s what would happen if Sanders never gets selected in the NFL Draft. […]
Celtic získal titul už čtyři kola před koncem, vyrovnal rekord Rangers
Svěřenci trenéra Brendana Rodgerse prohráli v lize jen čtyři ze 34 zápasů, získali Ligový pohár a o třetí trofej - Skotský pohár - se utkají 24. května s Aberdeenem. K dnešní hladké výhře přispěli dvěma brankami Němec Kühn a Ir Idah, jeden gól byl vlastní. Nejlepším střelcem nového mistra a celé ligy je Japonec Maeda s šestnácti brankami.
