Winter doldrums got you down? Indulge in some aromatherapy, which has been proven to have rejuvenating qualities. Specific scents have also been shown to increase alertness and promote feelings of calmness.

Aromatherapy could be particularly helpful if you suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a more serious form of winter blues, since people with SAD tend to have a more acute sense of smell than those who don’t have the disorder.

Combat daylight saving time-induced sleepiness by getting in some early morning sun. One simple idea: Soak up some rays first thing in the AM by sipping your coffee on the back porch to help regulate your circadian rhythm, aka your body’s internal clock.
