The Indoor Epidemic: How 93% Indoors Steals Sleep & Focus
Burnout is biology distorted by indoor captivity
Prolonged indoor, screen-heavy work (93% indoors) disrupts circadian signals and overwhelms brains with “digital obesity,” reducing sleep, recovery, and creativity; the “fix” is intentional environmental inputs, not willpower.
Dose, timing, and brightness beat “go outside”
Light and nature work like a quantified input: outdoor light is far brighter than indoor, morning light anchors circadian rhythm, and evening light timing protects melatonin; minimal doses still matter.
