MOD NOTE: Post related to Jack Kruse were split from this thread
I highly encourage you to read jack kruse work. It explains all this. Light is very powerful when it comes to health. So can be cold.In the very beginning of my ...sick-career, I felt improvements from sleeping at my balcony, living at the 58:th latitude, almost as far north as Anchorage. I couldn't decide which factor was the most important, but later I've come to believe it was the light from the sky. At that latitude night is eight hours long in early August, but even in October, when it starts to get chilly in the mornings, the sky is blue at seven o'clock.
Later in that career, I followed up with a pair of journeys to the sun each winter, which were of tremendous help for me. I think all symptoms improved.
Later than that, I started to give myself "natural day light therapy", inspired by treatment of depression - then my chief diagnos.
And on top of that, when I could no longer work, I moved out to the country side, helping a friend with full time occupation and a moon shine farm. Eventhough I was in a pretty bad shape, and needed to rest a lot, I was outdoors many hours a day. Again I felt the improvement caused by day light.
This encouraged me to move much further south, to the 27th latitude, comparable with Florida or the Sunshine Coast in Australia.
Here I stay out of the sun, and brain functions suffer during the warmer months. But I do get a lot of exposure to natural light. And I have improved in many ways, though in other ways, my condition has worsened.
And although this is only a singular patient's anecdote, I can assure anyone who wants to listen to me, that day light does wonders with me. The mecanism, however, I do not know. It may have with vitamin D to do, or maybe with the eyes
...or maybe some internal organ like the hypothalamus has an ability of its own to perceive day light?
