I agree. As far as fluorescent lights are concerned, I noticed that
after spending only ONE hour in a room without windows (like in a
basement), and with fluorescent lights, I feel VERY tired. One cannot
stress enough the importance of natural light and natural air. Just
spending a few minutes outside, in the sun, has a relaxing and
energizing effect for me.

Yes, but it's a different kind of exhaustion (perhaps more nervous
than muscular?).
