Hello River Bend friends,
Do you suddenly have the urge to exercise? Do you find that you need less sleep?

Do you have the uncontrollable need to clean? Do you feel happier and are smiling more? If you can answer yes to any of these questions you may have Spring Fever.

It’s not an actual fever but it is described as a restless feeling often associated with the onset on spring. There is research confirming the physical changes are real. According to WEBMD the increased hours of sunlight affect the hormones produced by the brain. A decrease in melatonin and an increase in serotonin can cause more energy, a need for less sleep and a feeling of happiness. Happy Spring!
