Retinal light exposure contributes to circadian timing. Indoor intensity varies with glazing, direction, weather and position, so a skylight is not a quantified light-therapy exposure.

Why people use it
- Bedroom light exposure
Evidence at a glance
Daytime light and a dark sleep environment fit general sleep guidance. There is no verified clinical dose or special sleep benefit for placing a bed under a skylight.
Confidence: weak
Practice safety
Situations where this practice may need modification or professional guidance.
Light that disrupts sleep may be counterproductive. Balance waking-light preferences with sufficient darkness during intended sleep, and do not stare directly at the sun.
