For sure, it feels really good to lay in the sun, but for me I can't do it too long because I'm already black, and I don't like looking like charcoal after a few hours in the sun, it makes me feel really bad like I'm burnt or something. I love the feeling though because it's relieving to feel nature growing on you. I think everyone should spend sometime in the sun relaxing when they are feeling down,

Yes, I think the sun is important, that is partly why people go to places like Florida, and those in Norther climes often suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder and need to have the bright lights so that they can function. This is simply one of the things that is important in terms of feeling good I think. I am not sure if it is sunlight itself, or the Vitamin D. I think basically it is the light we get from the sun, that helps to regulate our mood.

I think that it is the vitamin D from the sun light that
makes you feel better. The more vitamin D the better
you feel. Try just taking a good vitamin D and see how
you feel. You won't have to move to a sun shines State.
And you can feel good all year around.
