While the rains bring relief from the sweltering heat, it might also be a reason for you to feel lethargic.

While it’s a universal feeling that rainy day calls for a nap, experts suggest the seasonal change causes energy and alertness levels to decline for most.

Common reasons behind monsoon fatigue:

• Reduced sunlight can lower serotonin levels, affecting mood and energy.
• High humidity makes the body work harder to regulate its temperature, leading to exhaustion.
• Poor sleep quality due to cooler weather, rain or humidity can leave you feeling unrested.
• Dehydration is common even during the rainy season and can cause fatigue and headaches.
• Seasonal infections and allergies may also make the body feel weaker.
