would you recommend that children also get morning sunlight yes and your pets too unless they're nocturnal pets right for anyone that had the not so smart idea of getting a hamster you realize they're nocturnal right they're going to run all night long on the wheel in fact rodents like to run on Wheels so much that hoppy Hofer at Harvard has shown that if you put a little running wheel like you know little wheels that the mice like to run in there in a field animals will run to the wheel and run in the field which tells you everything you need to know about rodents but really um children need that but obviously babies have sensitive eyes you you know we all can potentially hurt ourselves with sunlight and down here the UV index is very high when the sun is low in the Sky so-call low solar angle sunlight in the morning and in the evening the UV index and be mostly because of atmospheric interference but some other things as well it does it's not as damaging to the eyes that's why it's easier to watch a sunrise or a Sun closer to the Horizon it is to you know please don't stare at the sun in any case but an overhead Sun so I I think it's really important for circadian rhythms
