If you rely on windows to get vitamin D I have bad news for you. Glass filters out most of UV spectrum of sunlight. It is really hard if not impossible to get a tan behind glass.

Physical exercises and outdoor activities are very helpful with sleep and overall well being.

Yes open windows indeed! I do have a 'mosquito screen' (no clue how to call it in English).

Usually called 'window screen' in American English or just 'screen' if the context is clear.

I doubt 'mosquito screen' would be unclear to any English speaker so it's fine to say.

If a screen is on a door you call it a 'screen door' if you have a full enclosurer to protect you from bugs it's a 'screen house.'
