  1. Mental Health Benefits of Sunlight :

  2. Sunlight works as a natural anti-depressant. It is the most accessible and easy-to-absorb antidepressant you will find. It is an excellent source of vitamin D. A lack of vitamin D has been associated with depressive disorders. Sunlight aids the production of Serotonin. The action of sunlight on our eyes causes the production of serotonin. Serotonin is the happiness hormone of the brain. It gives us feelings of joy and pleasure. It increases our tolerance to stress.

  3. Sunlight helps alleviate Anxiety. The sun may have an important role in reducing anxiety. When the sun rises, we tend to do things differently. We become more active and tend to spend more time outside. Sunlight exposure induces good sleep. When the sun sets, the lack of sunlight prompts the brain to break down serotonin into melanin. Melanin is the hormone that puts you to sleep. So more serotonin would also mean more melanin and eventually a good night’s sleep.
