Very interesting. I had not heard of that before. Although I did that almost daily when in Hawaii as we watched the sun come up some mornings and definitely watched it go down in the evenings. Maybe that was another part of it. Hmmm...
Can confirm the sun plays a huge role in sleep cycles. I live in Alaska and during the summer when we get about four hours of twilight I am awake all the time and live on basically four hours of sleep without any repercussions of feeling tired. On the opposite side, in the winter when we get maybe four hours of daylight I become like the bear and basically hibernate. Can’t drag myself out of bed to the point I make a four shot esspresso before bed and put in a bedside thermos and drink it (after water) a half hour before I have to actually get out of bed. Still wouldn’t live anywhere else - lots of views for days and too much fun and fish here!
The air is much cleaner in mid Pacific too. Being on the coast also the air is enriched with tons of negative ions which give a clear head. I grew up on the coast and prefer it, but settled in retirement in the mountains; as mainly an escape from society.

Interesting. Good point!
