researcher

Dominic Royé is a researcher in biometeorology and health geography at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). His work focuses on understanding how weather patterns, particularly the lack of sunlight and prolonged adverse weather, can affect mental health and well-being. Royé has highlighted the complex relationship between exposure to sunlight and mental health, noting that reduced sunlight can lead to higher stress levels and affect sleep patterns due to changes in serotonin and melatonin production. His research contributes to the growing body of evidence exploring the psychological impacts of weather, particularly in relation to seasonal affective disorder.
