Sunlight in the office can greatly affect the health and sleep of employees working.

Study and survey the working environment of 49 office workers, of which 27 people work in closed rooms, 22 people work in offices with windows. The team measured the health indicators, sleep quality, and brightness in the employees' offices.

As a result, compared to employees in closed rooms, employees working in offices with windows receive 173% more sunlight. The group also slept more than 46 minutes every night.

Moreover, the staff working in the room have a preference window for more active activities. Closed room workers have lower quality of life and they often have health problems, trouble sleeping, and dysfunction.

"The impact of sunlight on office workers is remarkable , " said Ivy Cheung, a doctoral candidate at Northwestern University in Chicago.

According to researchers, when designing offices, people should consider sunlight, as it can affect the life and health of workers.

"The quality of life and sleep of daytime employees can improve, thanks to the natural light of the sun in the office, we should consider this when designing offices , " Cheung said. .
