Moulting season

When the weather turns cooler in early autumn, I notice an unusual smell in the air, my hair falls out more than usual and my thoughts turn to travel and memories of places that I have visited in the past. This coincides with my friend’s hens moulting and ceasing to lay eggs. Is this phenomenon biologically based, and has it been scientifically investigated or named?Margaret Ellis, Attadale, Western Australia

As the seasons change to cooler climates, our bodies adjust to hibernation mode (though we don't really hibernate). This slow down in how our body works affects our metabolism rate, the chemicals and hormones we produce and ultimately, the way we feel, think and behave...Guestimate
