Description

Every year it’s the same old story: autumn arrives, the trees start shedding their leaves, and somehow we also just feel drained.


There’s less daylight, more fatigue, zero motivation and as it turns out, it’s not all in your head. This seasonal tiredness has even been given the name pumpkin spice fatigue. That’s right, like the coffee!


Why do we get so tired then? What’s the best way to shake it off then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
