It's really weird that the work and school environment expects you to bring the same enthusiasm and performance in winter as in the sunnier months. That's unnatural. Sun = Vitamin D = more energy.
I've had the chance to live according to this seasonal rhythm before. Power through for 6 to 9 months and then 3 months of quasi-hibernation. That was in southern Turkey, of course, where spring kicks in by March and it's pleasantly warm until October or November. In December, January, February, the cold months, all activities got cut back by about 50%. In the other months, we hustled so hard that it covered bridging those three cold months too. I know this works better in warm areas than in northern countries.
Still, what's the point in the north of spending the cold months overloaded and on sick leave, when naturally you can deliver almost double the performance in the warmer months? Our economic system finally needs to recognize that we're subject to natural rhythms, instead of demanding the same performance the whole year as if we were robots.
