Re:Stuffy offices can halve cognitive scores by br_smartass on Friday October 30, 2015 @10:42PM (#10481611)
Weird, recently Ive changed jobs from a place with plenty of space to each individual worker and windows with the view to a commercial street(which remained open), natural light, etc, to standard cubicle corp with at least a hundred people on the same place and I can't stop thinking there's something wrong with this type of environment.

Indeed I feel dumber and anesthetized, the lack of natural light, outside stimulae, seeing the day pass, I suspect makes time drag. Past experiences in this kind of environment also gave me the same feeling.

I dislike stuffy rooms, but I personally hate natural light and a view of the street or even outdoors at all. The room I work in at my job has no windows at all (either to the outside or to other parts of the building), and it's fantastic for me.
