Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: General Time Knowledge

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) occurs when reduced daylight in winter disrupts circadian rhythms and serotonin levels, triggering depression-like symptoms. Early morning sunlight exposure can help reset internal clocks, improving mood and energy. Light therapy lamps mimic daylight, offering an accessible option for people living in high latitudes. Recognizing the connection between sunlight timing and emotional well-being highlights the significance of daily light cues. By aligning personal schedules to maximize natural light, individuals often see improvements in mental and physical health.
