It's the Winter Solstice (shortest day of the year) with the least amount of light in the Northern Hemisphere. I'm looking at <8h of light here in Calgary, AB Canada. You would think that the day with the most amount of darkness = the most amount of 💤 right? Not so...
This study based in Kiruva, Sweden (above arctic circle) found less daylight meant delayed sleep for office workers. How can this be so?

It's likely because less light exposure (esp in the morning) makes us more vulnerable to💡at night causing the delay in our circadian rhythms.
What to do? Get outside in the AM 🌞, consider light therapy if really struggling, & wear blue light blocking glasses 2h before bedtime.
And I love this day because it's all down hill from here, more 🌞🌞🌞 (& ❄❄❄) coming my way. I'm also a good example of the delay because it's past my bedtime 😱.
