Light does something to human chemistry that isn't metaphorical. Morning light in the eyes sets a clock in the brain that decides, roughly, when you'll feel tired tonight.
Which makes sunshine less of a pleasant backdrop and more of an input you're either getting or not getting. Most people now take theirs through a window, filtered, hours after waking.
Gratitude for the sun comes easily on a bright day. The useful move is going outside on the grey ones, where the light is still many times stronger than any room you own.
Ten minutes outdoors, early, no screen. Your evening will notice.
