It was high noon, EST, when I walked out my front door and had a cigarette. I looked up into the sky and saw it's brilliant blue, fluffy white clouds dotting the sky. The very feel of it was very positive. I immediately felt calmer and more at peace. It got me thinking of a few things, like my days in High School, where I would have to get up at 6:00 AM every morning, and finish at 2:30 PM. I remembered the zest for life I had then, and I compared it to now, when I wake up just an hour or two before noon, and stay up well past midnight, mostly indoors and avoiding direct exposure with the sun and almost any light, and where I go day to day feeling mostly like crap. I started to wonder:

Do people who wake up early have a mean streak? Or are they like me, who enjoy peace of mind with their sunlight? Am I just a solar-powered organic meat-bag? Is there any correlation with sunlight exposure and feeling at peace?

Then I made the resolve to ask SM: Is there a proven correlation between behavioral tendencies and sunlight exposure?

I vote that people who have more exposure to sunlight and more daylight hours have a generally deeper sense of inner peace. From my observations, people who get up later are more irritable, hand-in-hand with people who stay up later.

Thoughts, comments, and votes! Gimme, gimme!
