Rational & Study Design

Why I created this challenge:

Research underscores natural light's role in regulating circadian rhythms and mood enhancement, essential for quality sleep. Social media and popular press often tout nature's calming effects without robust evidence. This challenge combines clinical assessments with daily nature walks to scientifically evaluate improvements in sleep quality, metabolic health, and inflammation. Establishing evidence-based benefits of nature walks is crucial for promoting healthier lifestyles.

My Objective for You:

To objectively measure how daily nature walks can impact your sleep quality, mood, and biological health markers, providing you with a clearer understanding of natural interventions for wellness.

Aims & Objectives:

The primary aim is to evaluate the effect of daily nature walks on sleep quality and mood. Secondly, we aim to assess changes in metabolic health and inflammation through clinical blood tests.

Significance & Impact:

This challenge is designed to bridge the gap between anecdotal benefits and scientific evidence, offering participants a holistic approach to improve sleep and health. The outcomes could lead to validated, low-cost interventions for enhancing well-being. Limitations include variability in individual health conditions and environmental factors.
