It's April 26th, from your city to your ears. This is Anchorage News today, powered by AI. A listener's hitting a wall this spring, still buried in winter blues despite longer days and sunshine. They powered through the cold months with their partner. Cozy nights in, walks when possible, even tanning beds for a light boost. But daylight saving time mess with their sleep, and now they're staying up late, dragging in mornings and dodging the outdoors. They're wondering if it's just lag or something deeper, without pulling away from the one who got them through it. Wayne breaks it down like this. Stop waiting for the mood to flip on its own. Compare your habits now to January. Nothing shifted, except the light exposing the same ruts. Ditch the sheds for non-negotiable small winds, like a quick block walk after work, or a fixed bedtime, even if it's bright out. That signals your body, it's time to move. Meanwhile, want to add science to it, saying energy rebounds before motivation in seasonal

slumps, so you're not behind, just delayed. Spring highlights the gap, especially when your partner's already bouncing. Go gentle, not intense. Tiny goals like five minutes of fresh air, build rhythm without burnout. Reactions from folks in similar spots echo this, lots sharing how ignoring the slit makes it heavier, but opening up prevents distance. No shame in pros if in lingers, fresh eyes can kickstart things. Bottom line, lean into those microchanges, loop in your partner so it's a teen thing, and give yourself grace, you're rebooting right on time.
