Spring fatigue syndrome is a condition marked by a combination of fatigue, sleepiness, reduced appetite, and difficulty concentrating during the spring season. It occurs as the body temporarily adjusts to the increasing daylight hours of the season. It usually improves on its own within a few weeks and can be managed with exercise, a regular routine, and a balanced diet. However, fatigue that persists regardless of season may have a different cause, so please consult a medical specialist in that case.2026-06-26
