Is spring fever real?

Every spring, I feel really sluggish, tired, and a bit low on energy, even when the weather is nice. My wife jokes it's 'spring fever.' Is 'spring fever' a real thing, or am I just imagining it?

For me, it's definitely real in terms of feeling super lazy and daydreamy as the weather warms up. I just feel like staying outdoors instead of working, but medically speaking, I don't know much about it.

People use terms like spring fever for everything from laziness to allergies. If you are feeling physically unwell or running a fever, get a proper diagnosis from a clinic instead of reading romanticized internet terms.

It's mostly just a psychological reaction to seasonal changes, not an actual medical fever. If you actually have a high temperature, don't write it off as 'spring fever'—go see a doctor.

I was actually wondering about this too. Does it mean actually getting a physical fever with a temperature, or is it just a term for feeling tired when the season changes?

Haha, yes, the sudden urge to clean my room and go for walks is so real! It's just the mood getting better because winter is finally over. Enjoy the good energy!

My family doctor explained that 'spring fever' isn't a medical illness. It's a colloquial term for how our hormones like melatonin and serotonin react to increased sunlight and warmer temperatures. However, actual physical fever needs a standard clinical evaluation.
