FAQs about Color Glasses & winter depression
What is winter depression?
You suddenly feel listless, can't wake up properly in the morning, or just can't get going, and you don't feel fit and well during the day either. You are simply no longer able to perform at your best. This is depressing. If this lack of motivation and frustration occur frequently during the short winter days, it is referred to as winter depression. Many people experience an excessive need for sleep, cravings for all kinds of food, and extreme listlessness, especially during the dark season. According to estimates, 800,000 Germans even develop an illness as a result of their autumnal discontent. Around one percent of the population suffers from “autumn-winter depression,” most of them women.
Why do people suffer from winter depression in the first place?
Presumably, the gloomy mood is just a relic from a bygone era. After all, humans once “hibernated” because nature no longer provided them with enough food. So it's no wonder that during the dark season, their brains signal them to sleep as much as possible, eat everything they can get their hands on, and not move around more than necessary. However, this primeval relic is not very pleasant for modern humans, who have to go to the office even in winter. And when the soul is in mourning for months on end, the knowledge of the legacy of Homo sapiens is not really comforting.
What is the “scientific” cause of autumn-winter depression?
Put simply, in winter depression, the switch from the “sleep hormone” melatonin to the “activity hormone” serotonin does not work properly. It is as if a sleeping pill is still dripping into the blood during the day. This means that the cause of the gray veil over the mind is the lack of sunlight with its associated spectral colors. Light colors, essential building blocks of all life, have always influenced humans.
What can I do to dispel my winter depression?
Take a walk through the dreary autumn day wearing orange-tinted glasses. The color of joy (Peter Mandel) will improve your mood in just a few minutes, making you more active, enterprising, cheerful, and fun-loving—simply by wearing orange-tinted glasses. Or would you like to compensate for weeks without sunshine with cheerful and lively yellow-tinted glasses? Simulate the feeling of “green meadows” with green-tinted glasses to counteract the long-lasting monotony of white snow cover? You have a wide range of options for using colors to balance, harmonize, calm, and strengthen.
Why do some colors lift the mood, while others have a more harmonizing and calming effect?
Each color in the solar spectrum from red to violet, also known as rainbow colors, has a specific property and energetic meaning. The vibrational quality and energy depend on the purity of the respective color.
Can color glasses also be used as sunglasses?
Yes: the Color Glasses from Meta-Produkte have UV 400 protection. You can relax in the sun while being pampered by the respective color. And as an added bonus, the colored sunglasses will help you get rid of those annoying winter mood swings.
