It is scientifically proven that rainy days affect laziness. On bright sunny days, the sunlight hits the optic nerve in the eyeball and deceases the sleep hormone that keeps a person from staying awake easily. This hormone is called melatonin. So, on glum rainy days the lack of sunlight allows for the melatonin to rush through your body. Therefore making a person lazy.
