Why do we tend to spend more time at home in the fall?

 As the leaves begin to change color and the crisp autumn air sets in, many of us retreat indoors, enjoying the comfort of our homes more than ever. But why does this change of season so often prompt us to spend more time at home?

 Cooler weather invites comfort
Fall brings with it shorter days and cooler temperatures, the perfect excuse to get cozy indoors. Whether it's snuggling under blankets, sipping hot drinks, or enjoying the soft glow of candles, fall naturally draws us to comfort. It's a time when the idea of “home” becomes less about structure and more about refuge.

 A change in lifestyle and routines
With summer vacation behind us and the return to school and work routines, home becomes a “grounding place.” We need routines and moments of calm, which makes our living spaces essential for relaxing and reconnecting.

 Autumn activities are centered around the home
Autumn also brings with it a host of seasonal activities that are best enjoyed at home: baking, decorating, movie nights, and even preparing for the holidays. These traditions foster a sense of warmth and togetherness that only our homes can truly provide.

 Nature encourages “cocooning”
Believe it or not, there is a psychological reason for our desire to spend more time indoors in the fall. Just as nature prepares for winter, so do we. It's an innate instinct to seek shelter, to create a safe and warm environment where we feel protected and comfortable.
