So the sun is just peeking through the clouds or it's more dense cloud cover . You want to get about 10 minutes of sunlight exposure to your eyes early in the day and on days that are really densely overcast or maybe even a rainy , you're going to want to get as much as 20 or 30 minutes of sunlight exposure . Another key thing is do not forget about , just don't try and get this sunlight exposure through a windshield of a car or a window , whether or not it's tinted or otherwise , it takes far too long .
But we can give some general guidelines in general on a clear day , meaning no cloud cover or minimal cloud cover . You want to get this sunlight exposure to your eyes for about five minutes or so . Could be three minutes , one day , could be seven minutes the next day , about five minutes on a day where there's cloud cover .
But then get outside once the sun is out on cloudy days , you especially need to get outside . I repeat on cloudy days , overcast days , you especially need to get outside and get sunlight . You just need to get more of it .
Well , then I suppose , try and get near a window . That would be the last , last resort , but you really want to get outside to get the sunlight exposure .
However , if the sun is a little bit brighter and a little bit higher in the sky , sometimes it could be painful to look at . So the way to get this sunlight viewing early in the day is to look toward the sun . If it's too bright to look at directly , well , then don't do that .
