Is it normal to sleep more in the winter?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, it’s common to feel sleepier or spend more time in bed during winter. Shorter days and less daylight can affect your body clock and energy, though your actual sleep needs may not change much.

Winter can make mornings feel especially rude. With less daylight, your body’s sleep-wake rhythms and mood can shift, and colder, darker days may also mean you’re less active. Lots of people notice they feel sleepier or want a little more time under the covers.

If you’re sleeping much more than usual, still feel exhausted, or it’s interfering with daily life, it’s worth checking in with a healthcare professional.
