Why does the sun make people happier?

[Kerplunk]

Sat in office, yesterday and today and everyone is a lot more happier than a dreary dull grey day, what is the reasoning for this? There must be a physcological factor!?

Or am I imagining it ?

OcUk, I question thee

Vitamin D brah!

 

[Philtor]

Sunlight is believed to affect the production of Endorphins. These hormones play a role in giving us a sense of well-being and happiness.

It makes me sneeze for some reason, whenever I look at it.

You’re not imagining it and you have to be a fairly sad git to like dull dull short days. Bright days always lift the spirit. With spring in the air and summer around the corner, the birds getting ready to come out what normal person wouldn’t be happy. Bring it on.

 

[The Dread Pirate]

Because it brings the light!

Humans are solar powered.

It makes everything nice and bright and look great. Plus, it's a signal that soon the women will be wearing short shorts and small tops.

Vitamin D brah!

Hardly likely to be making any difference at this time of year considering the small amount of time spent in the sun.

Probably some genetically programmed reaction, just like most people like views of lakes, greenery and the sea. Areas where you are most likely to find food to survive.

Frozen wastes and deserts are impressive but don't illicit the same feelings.
