Do you get enough sun in winter?

[wolfcat87]

Autoimmune disorder occurrences are decreased by 14+ hours a week of outdoor activities in the sun. Seasonal Affective Disorder is also reduced by getting enough time in the sun. We all need Vitamin D as well.

Healthline recommends, "aim to get 10–30 minutes of midday sunlight, several times per week. People with darker skin may need a little more than this. Your exposure time should depend on how sensitive your skin is to sunlight. Just make sure not to burn."

So, do you get enough sun in winter?

Less than an hour of sun a week ☁️

1-2 hours 🌥

3-4 hours ⛅️

4-6 hours 🌤

7-8 hours 🌄

9-10 hours 🌅 ☀️

11+ hours 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

I think so. I make sure to be outside in the sun at least once or twice a day. It is also important for the vitamins that are created by the sun in the body.

I'm probably outside more then most people are because of my job that includes in the winter time so I'd say I probably get close to what I need.

If we have sun (and it's rare here) it's mostly during working hours... so during winter I take a substitute - vitamin D...

I use cheap UVB led chips, each one emitting around 15 milliwatts of 295 nanometers, using which for one minute is catalyzing more vitamin D production than spending an entire day naked outdoors on the sunniest summer day where I live. While causing no tan like UVA, which is also responsible for the most and the worst skin cancers. -ScienceThumper

Even if it is sunny it's still could out there, so I don't think I get much D-vitamin with clothes everywhere. If it were only for the ammount of time I'm outdoors then yes, I'm getting enough exposure.

**cold

[Fireguy17]

it depends.
We have a lot of gray days here in the winter.
It always seems nicer when the sun is out.
It will make a 10 degree below zero day more pleasant.

[RavVid]

It's my summer and I'm not getting enough sun. Every day is cloudy. The weather bureau promised a hot dry summer. I'm very angry.

[NathanDavis]

[FreyaRed]

No, but I enjoy my depression and Vitamin D deficiency. At least I feel something.

[exitseven]

I am sure I don;t I work indoors and I don't go outside until it is dark.

[DJB72]

7 hours most days. One of the few advantages of south Africa

[goaded]

Fun fact: Vitamin D is the only vitamin for which supplements have been scientifically proven to be beneficial (assuming, presumably, your diet isn't bad enough to give you scurvey from Vitamin C deficiency).

[dolemite58]

I try to but I also take a really good vitamin d supplement with k2

[PBandJ_Nerd]

There isn't much sun out in the wintertime, so I don't go out for my walks.

[RebelinSteel]

I work outside a lot

[Dinklex3]

Nah, I usually get super pale in winter.

[CubaPirate]
