The night between Saturday and Sunday, the clocks are turned back one hour in Sweden. This means it becomes light earlier in the morning, but also that it gets dark as early as the afternoon. Many people notice the change in their everyday lives, especially during the first weeks after the clock change.
According to a professor, it can help to be outdoors in daylight as often as possible. For example, you can go for a walk during lunch or sit near a window while working. Trying to let more light into the home can also make a difference during the dark months.

For many Swedes, winter is a time when it is important to plan everyday life with the light in mind. With simple habits, you can make the dark days a little easier to manage.
