Why do we feel so blah and sleepy on a rainy day?

its mostly in the way you perceive that day but at the same time sunlight exposure increases seratonin production in the brain thereby putting you in a better mood.

My first instinct was to say something stupid like, "Run around outside with a huge lightning rod attached to my head!",...but I will not stoop to that childish level today,...lol\n\nWHat it really inspires me to do, curl up in a corner with a favorite book,...snuggle with my ol'man and nap, or if I am in a inspired mood already, I enjoy sitting under the over hang of my apartment watching the rain yet staying warm and dry writing poetry or short stories. \n\nI think theres something mystifying and a little romantic about rain and thunderstorms in general. It's almost as if when they come, calm is restored, as the world sits through yet another crysalis, and when the rain goes away and the sun comes out, everythign sparkles new and clean again, it makes me in turn almost feel more clean and stress free.\n\nOkay lock me away, I am probably sounding like a weirdo! lol\n\nHope this is what you were looking for,... ;-p\n\nDora

My guesses are that sometimes it is either what is, or what is not going on in their lives. Or it could be Clinical Depression, for which they should get help for. Also, there is an illness called "SADS", which is a deficiency in getting enough sun, too many gray days, affect them, and they cannot function. \nMaybe too much thinking and dwelling on less positive things, is causing sadness.  \nPerhaps finding some fun friends would help out people who feel sad...Laughter is always good for getting out of a sad mood. \nEveryone has a day now & then, that just feels sad....The important thing is that a person gets over it, ASAP. and moves on....\nOne solution I have to get out of one of those moods, is to go to the movies with friends, and see a funny movie! Amazing how that can shake me out of it!! Hope this answers your question...

It could be a poor diet, it could be a sign of disease... dehydration can make you feel sleepy, so drink at least one glass of water every hour...even if you don't feel thirsty, depression can also make a person feel sleepy. Or perhaps the person has lots of stress and worries and isn't really sleeping deeply. Exercise can really help you sleep well...I would suggest seeing a doctor first just to rule out any problems.. night ,night, sleep tight x

I do feel tired had have heavy clotting during the first couple of days.  I heard that the menstrual cycle depletes iron levels in the body (which can be a cause of sleepiness and drowsiness).  I take an extra iron supplement during my cycle to combat that tired feeling.

Lots of things can cause tiredness.  I'll name just a few that come to my mind.\n\nIron deficiency.  If you have lost any blood or are not getting enough iron in your diet, you could have anemia.  This makes you feel tired and run-down.\n\nThyroid disease.  If your thyroid is low, you will feel tired.  \n\nDepression.  One symptom of depression can be fatigue.\n\nVitamin B deficiency.\n\nAnd a whole host of illnesses have tiredness as a symptom.  You could even have a sleeping disorder where even though you are technically asleep, you are not getting a good sound sleep that your body needs.\n\nDo you get enough exercise and drink plenty of water?\n\nYou probably should have a complete bloodwork done, so they can check for all the possible things like thyroid and deficiencies, etc.

It's a strange thing but sometimes too much sleep can actually leave you feeling tired, but I dunno any more than that.  Maybe you are just so rested that your body and mind are waking gradually.

when they, do is maybe because they yawn and eyes get watery. When you feel  sleepy your eyes feel heavy and sometimes itch. Why not rub them?

There are a lot of reasons you could be tired they could be a simple as not getting enough sleep or they could be more health related you might be dehydrated or you could have a problem with your thyroid. You should try drinking a big glass of water and lying down for a while. I would also talk to your doctor about the way you are feeling. Good luck.

temporarily it will make you feel sleepy because the body is trying to regain the lost energy by resting for a few minutes.

Tiredness is not an issue over which you should bury your head in the covers. Actually, fatigue, the tiredness most people feel on a daily basis, is the first symptom of all degenerative disease.\n\nIf you wake up tired in the morning, lack the energy to make it through the day without a stimulating pick-me-up (“don’t talk to me until I’ve had my morning coffee”) and you haven’t got the energy to exercise or even walk from the couch to the TV set to change the dial, then your get up and go has gotten up and gone. You may even be headed for chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia.\n\nMany people think it’s natural to feel tired. Although it may be common, it's not natural. As a matter of fact, you can have stimulant-free, vibrant, sustained energy - naturally. And, it’s simple. The solution is optimum whole food nutrition. A well-nourished body always has more than enough buoyant vibrant energy. Period. \n\nResearch into the causes of fatigue has been going on for decades. We know you need certain nutritional factors that are not only missing from most people’s diets, but, ironically, they’re consistently being removed from our food supply during processing. \n\nWhy? Because they involve oils and other lipids. If you expose lipids to processing, light and air, they oxidize, become rancid and turn into trans-fatty acids. In other words, they’re sensitive and have a short grocery store “shelf life.” But just because they can spoil in your bread, cereal, rice and pasta, doesn’t mean you don’t need them on a daily basis. You desperately do need them!\n\nJust like a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, your body is only as strong as its weakest cell. Each one of your 73 trillion cells is a link vitally important to your health. They have a job to do and in order to do it, they need certain specific essential lipids. During your daily routine, cells use these lipids to perform a multitude of functions. Just like your car needs gasoline, you need these essential oils. They help to recharge your body’s battery

you might have ingested too much sugar or caffeine today, or you might be stressed.  After you read this try to relax, lay down, close your eyes take slow deep breaths in through your nose out through your mouth, open your mouth slowly and relax your jaw, try to think of a quiet or peaceful place the beach, or an island.  Good luck.

Tiredness and being thirsty. See a doctor for a simple water test.
