Many of us can relate to being tired and maybe even feel down during the winter months. Reports show that we spend more and more time indoors and with that, problems linked to low daylight exposure increases. The main recommendation from doctors is to try to spend more time outdoors to really get that dosage of the sun that one needs. Research also shows that people are not aware of the actual amount of time they spend either indoors or in their cars. With this in mind, what could we do to create a healthier way of living? In this project, I have chosen to explore how we can motivate and inspire people with a sensitivity to light to spend more time outdoors and help them stimulate their circadian rhythm. People that suffer from symptoms could in worst cases not even leave their bed making them unable to cope with their life. Using natural ways of changing habits could in most cases have a better effect than what heavy medication does.
