Yes, because sun is one of the main ways our bodies have to release serration the feel good chemical in our brain. We also need vitamin D so that our bodies use calcium effectively and we get vitamin D from the sun. We need the sun more than we realize. Our body needs at least 15 minutes of direct sun light a day to combat SAD and to help our body deal a lot of other issues. A lack of sun light can cause a myriad of problems SAD being just one of them.
In Chicago you can really see people look more grumpy. They do not say hi a lot make eye contact or smile.
Check out how light affect your personality. When I was in 7th grade my science made her room completely dark so we can see the constellations. With glow in the dark stickers. So the room was mostly dark for most of the day.
Her class was more behaved and more quitter than my class. Which we had the blinds open and lights on. Are class was louder and more jumpy.
its a knock on effect, those that suffer s.a.d. tend to stay in ( i married one) chicken and egg.....
