INDIANAPOLIS — If you’re feeling a little down this week, you’re not alone. Daylight Saving Time ended on Sunday, meaning shorter days and less sunlight.It’s not uncommon to feel those “winter blues” now that the sun is setting around 5:30 p.m.“I go out at 7 a.m., it’s dark. I go inside, it’s dark,' Daniela Del Rio said. “It’s affecting so bad. I work a lot of hours and at the end of the day I get off at 5.”Fall and winter months are hard for Del Rio.
“Being a business owner, if it gets dark earlier it means I get into my night earlier and I can just rest and spend time with my kids,” Hollis said. Whether you like the time change or not, experts say it can affect your mood.“Moods aren’t something you choose, they just happen,” Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Laura Hawkins said. About 5 percent of adults in the U.S. experience Seasonal Affective Disorder .
