    That’s true for everyone, but note that I’m talking about the morning here.

    PM daylight does nothing for your circadian rhythm and melatonin production.

      That’s not actually true. Physical activity, exercise affects circadian rhythms as well, and is a far more important consideration.

      Again, the “circadian rhythms” factor of morning daylight can be adequately addressed with a simple bedside smart lamp providing consistent “morning light” to wake up to. That little lamp can start your winter day two (or more) hours earlier than your latitude would otherwise allow.

      Stadium-style lighting over my local metro park, simulating afternoon daylight, isn’t nearly as feasible an option.
