The Benefits of Sunlight Exposure
Sunlight exposure early in the day has significant benefits for setting one's circadian rhythm, improving mood, focus, alertness, nighttime sleep, and metabolism. Viewing morning sunlight directly in the eyes is a science-supported practice that enhances mental health, physical health, and performance. Sunlight exposure requires going outdoors, as the benefits cannot be achieved through windows or screens. While sad lamps can provide some benefits, they are not as effective as sunlight exposure. There is strong evidence for the positive effects of sunlight, but less evidence for other aspects of nature like grounding.
