The health task
The vitamin D trough: if you take D in winter, this is the month to have started. The dark months are the test of the sleep routine — daylight anchors the body clock, and January is when the missing morning light shows up as sluggishness. Get outside around midday, keep the gym routine as the antidepressant it is.
The month in one line
January is the month habits either survive or die — the healthiest single act is protecting the training and sleep routine through the darkest weeks, not starting a diet.
