But I always seek sunlight especially on overcast days.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Get it daily especially on overcast days.
All still true even through cloud cover. You just need to be outside longer in order to get the proper stimulus.
Getting a bit more time than that on an overcast day would be ideal, but if that’s all the time you have, get it! The cool thing is if you get a bit more time the next day it is in many ways cumulative, although not in a purely linear way.
You just need to be outside longer. Plenty bright!
Get the most you can in the first hour after waking.
It’s cumulative so get what you can!
The point here is to get the sunlight indirectly. It's going to essentially be scattered everywhere through the cloud cover, but you know from looking at us at a flashlight directly into that flashlight versus looking at the beam that flashlight generates on the ground that if you're standing in the shade, you're going to. get less of that sunlight than you are if you're out in an open field.
