Interesting as the window is the main factor for me in the office. My desk is facing the window, not close to it but it’s there and bright.
At home, when working from home, most the time, my desk is facing a wall with the window behind me and using closed curtains.
So what I’m hearing is maybe I’m a little sensible to light and that’s why I leave with headaches? I used to hate driving at night too as all the other lights on cars and stuff are super bright and again I’d get headaches.
Very possibly. It doesn’t even necessarily have to be always, like there are medications that cause sensitivity to light as a side effect.
There isn’t really much to be done about it, unfortunately, other than learning to recognize what triggers it and doing your best to avoid or reduce exposure to those environments. But even that can make a huge difference. I try not to drive at night for the same reasons you do.
Maybe pay attention to the actual light levels from the window and see if brighter days are more headache inducing. In office buildings it could also be from fluorescent lights, those are horrible, especially if you can see the flicker.
