Can’t sleep? Maybe you’re not getting enough sunlight. Forbes Magazine recently reported on a study of office workers, which sought to find out if greater exposure to natural light during the day resulted in more restful sleep at night.
The results came back clear as day. Compared to workers in windowless offices, those with windows received 173 per cent more natural white light exposure during work hours and slept an average of 46 minutes more per night.
The study also found that people who get more sunlight also tend to be more physically active and happier. Office workers without windows reported more physical ailments and lower vitality, along with lower sleep quality.
