Get out into the sun. I don't know why, but something about about getting a minimum amount of sunlight (hour?) every day improves my mood immensely throughout the rest of the day. The Seasonal Affective Disorder is real

So is vitamin D deficiency. Get some sun (or pills)!

From what I understand (maybe incorrectly) vitamin D supplements cannot make up for the vitamin D one would normally get from sunlight.

Our bodies don't process it in the same way that makes it useful to us.

Which is a shame because I spend 90% of my time indoors.
