Reducing Stress by Improving Lighting

Similarly, bad lighting can cause a strain on your eyes and increase fatigue, as can light that is too bright or light that shines directly into your eyes.

What you may not appreciate is that the quality of light may also be important. Most people are happiest in bright daylight. In fact, this may trigger a release of chemicals in the body that bring a sense of emotional wellness. Normal artificial light does not seem to have the same effect on mood.

Try experimenting with working by a window or using full-spectrum bulbs in your desk lamp. You will probably find that this improves the quality of your working environment.
