“I think the title of this paper is terrible... if one just read the title it sounds like day and night light exposure associated with psychiatric disorders right... but that's not the conclusion the conclusion is that getting a lot of sunlight exposure during the day and getting a lot of dark exposure at night is immensely beneficial for psychiatric health”
