    Morning sunlight can be adequately replaced with a dawn-simulating dimmer lamp next to the bedroom window.

    Nothing replaces evening daylight.

      Evening daylight can be adequately replaced by dusk simulating dinner lamps next to the bedroom window.

      Nothing replaces morning daylight.

        Morning light just wakes you up. You can replace that with a lamp.

        Evening light lets you go outside, walk, see the sun, see trees and houses, be more active. You can’t replace that with a lamp.

        How does a lamp in my bedroom window replace an hour of afternoon daylight at my local metro park, or any of the other, non-bedroom places I want to be?

        Are you not understanding that I don’t want to be in my bedroom at 4:30pm?

          You’re still indoors. Also you’re only looking at the worst day of winter without considering the effect the change produces the rest of the year.

          If you want to wake up earlier and be home by 3 you’re free to do so, but don’t force that on everyone.
