How it works
Outdoor light (typically 10,000–100,000 lux on sunny days, 1,000–10,000 lux overcast) is far brighter than indoor environments (100–500 lux). Combined with exercise, it provides dual SAD-relevant benefit.
Most effective within 1 hour of waking. Even overcast outdoor light exceeds indoor lighting significantly. Consistent daily practice matters more than duration.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
