Working nights? Doing shift work? Feeling sad?
Make sure you get at least one-half hour of sunlight a day, if possible. When we don’t get enough sunlight, we may become depressed or weepy for no obvious reason. Our sleep may be disturbed and we make begin to suffer from the various forms of insomnia.
If you use sunblock skin cream and gloves in the winter, it would be good to take off your eyeglasses for a few minutes when you’re outside during the day, just to let your eyes take in the sun.
Depressed people often want to go out only at night. If you are already depressed, make sure to get out of the house everyday before sunset to catch enough rays of the sun. Don't get into the vicious cycle of going out at night + lack of sunlight --> depression --> going out at night. The energy of the sun will serve as a natural pick-me-up!
