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!

I'd agree that there's generally a correlation, however at this point I hardly ever see the sun, sleeping as I do almost until 5pm most days, then school and work - the sun for me is more of a marker to let me know it's time for bed.

However, for me personally I'm as happy and peaceful as a person can be; in my case though when I wake up the first thing I do is smile and tap into the cosmic joy that is expressed through life itself. Even though I may no feel particularly happy when I first wake up, after that I'm prepared to face the day with a positive attitude and take joy in the 'little things' throughout the day.

Haven't had a bad day in some time now, and I get maybe 30-90 minutes of sunlight spread out over trips to the car, in and out of school for breaks until the sun goes down, and early in the morning before I go to bed.

Interestingly though, and the biggest reason I think there's some correlation is that when I do this little joy exercise I almost always visualize the sun, or feel a sense of the sun, as a kind of cosmic caretaker of life here on earth, it's light and warmth inititating and sustaining that joy in our world. Although I don't see the sun regularly almost at all, I do feel and and my awareness is drawn towards it - my awareness of it is quite spontaneous in this meditation, it was never my conscious intention in the beginning to include that imagery or feeling.

It's not a wonder that so many ancient cultures worshipped the sun. The moon as well - but without a moon our world is perhaps very boring, far less dynamic in the seasons, tides, etc. But without the sun we die and no amount of moon saves us.

peace
