Rational & Study Design
Why I created this challenge:
After reviewing numerous scholarly articles and social media posts, it's clear that a significant number of individuals struggle with sleep quality and fatigue, often linked to Vitamin D deficiency. This deficiency is prevalent despite the simple solution of daily sunlight exposure, touted by both academia and popular media. However, this solution often gets lost in the noise of modern life and myriad health advice. It's crucial to run this study to demonstrate the power of harnessing the sun for our health.
My Objective for You:
Through this challenge, my goal for you is to increase your Vitamin D levels, improve sleep quality and reduce fatigue by simply exposing yourself to early morning sunlight for 5 minutes each day. This simple, cost-free habit can be easily incorporated into your routine and may have a significant impact on your health and well-being.
Aims & Objectives:
The primary aim is to validate the effect of early morning sunlight exposure on Vitamin D levels, sleep quality, and fatigue. The secondary objective is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of this simple intervention in your daily routine.
Significance & Impact:
This challenge has the potential to address the common issues of sleep quality and fatigue, impacting your overall well-being. The expected outcome is an improvement in Vitamin D levels, sleep quality, and reduced fatigue. However, individual results may vary, and the challenge does not replace professional medical advice. The simplicity of this intervention could lead to a broad adoption and significant public health impact.
