Scientists reveal that October is a turning point for our bodies

It is not just you. October can genuinely feel different.

The change in daylight, weather and routine can make people more reflective, nostalgic and aware of time passing. For many of us, it is the point where summer properly ends, the year starts to feel shorter and the festive season comes into view.

There is no evidence that October is uniquely responsible for major life decisions or emotional shifts. But seasonal changes can affect mood, energy levels and the way we think about time, especially after a busy summer.

Maybe that is why October often feels like a reset. A month for new routines, fresh plans and the realisation that the year is moving faster than we expected.
