Having an office with a view may be more than just a symbol of
seniority. New findings show that there are public health benefits
associated with working by a windowFast Co Design reports.
An interdisciplinary group of architects and medical researchers
compared workers exposed to natural light with those who aren’t, and
found that window workers sleep, on average, 46 minutes more a night.
They also scored better on self-report health and sleep surveys. Learn
more about the study in the full article, “Workers in Windowless Offices Lose 46 Minutes of Sleep a Night,” at Fast Co Design and start convincing your boss that it’s time you had a window office!
