    Dark nights.


    Grey skies.


    Doom and gloom media.

    It's pretty easy to start feeling like hibernating for the next five months, but you can still move forward. Here's how....


    Expect to hear why Brad would pay £50 for a SAD lamp, how homemade comfort foods can play a part, what months has peak phone usage, a tedious farming analogy and a (possible) November Fit Dads Challenge.


    We all know that we can't control the weather, but we can control a lot of the things that influence how we feel.


    Ultimately, we aim to cover simple, practical ways to look after yourself, improve your energy and boost your mood as autumn and winter kick in.
