This is exactly what I've been thinking about lately. The modern knowledge-worker lifestyle is practically an experiment in extreme sun deprivation. We optimize our indoor spaces with perfect AC, ergonomic setups, and even custom ambient noise apps just to stay locked in a room for 10 hours a day doing deep work. It makes you wonder how much of what we accept as "normal" afternoon brain fog or tech burnout is actuall…
Tangentially, with ai tools available, post hoc secondary analysis of studies (like this) has to be insanely easier to run through. Are there are companies/individuals focused on this specifically? Obviously most labs are doing some of this but I’m curious if there are broader analysis being done

Before anyone gets in a stress, this is obviously some low life engagement bait troll. It might even be totally automated. It saw the word "pregnant" and decided to start on some diatribe about it without even reading the content of the link. I am really sad that even HN is the target of this type of bullshit.

Check the CO2 levels in your office. They can get ridiculously high indoors when humans gather in the same room. It's not dangerous, but it makes people tired, they stop taking initiative, and less creative.

Myopia is one that comes to mind, with data suggesting that low exposure to natural sunlight contributes. Though in my case, I played outside a lot as a kid and I still have terrible eyesight.
The natural rest position of the human eye is to focus at the infinite. Focusing on closer objects like books or screens requires a constant effort (we don't feel it).
The eye simply adapts and elongate to relieve some of the strain. Wearing corrective lenses further amplify the process.
If you want your kids to have perfect vision they should spend a lot of time playing outside, until early adulthood.

It's one huge perk of working from home. Lying down for 20 minutes makes the rest of the day much more pleasant and productive.

> Pregnant person can do whatever they want with their body. Yes, they can. But whatever they are doing to their body, they are doing to their baby as well. Can they drink and smoke while they are pregnant? Sure, it is their choice. Should they? Perhaps not, if they care about the welfare of the little human that is growing inside of them.
