You may have woken to hear the term Blue Monday and begin cancelling plans for today knowing it will be your saddest day of the year, and you are not alone. The infamous Blue Monday is upon us, the 3rd Monday in January and those around may discuss why this is our most depressing day, even search out for reasons that it is - that in there lies the problem.

In March 2020, society ground open day to a halt, human face-to-face interaction ceased and the world went in to a lockdown. To some this is a moment that produced fear and anxiety of the threat to health, both physically and mentally. For others it was a time where the stresses and strains of everyday life were suddenly removed. We had no choice but to stay at home, metaphorically locked in to our houses to contain spread of the virus. The world seems to be divided into two parts of the day: those who see the sunrise, and those who see the sunset. The chirpy enthusiasm of the early morning workouts and #5amClub may fill some with fear, dread or even admiration and sheer wonder. The two separate camps set their sights on a winged creature; the early bird ‘lark’ or the night ‘owl’. However within our bustling landscape of modern life, our sleep patterns are more than just a matter of routine (or birds); they are deeply rooted in our individual personalities. |
