I used to live in a highrise with windows that faced west. Since we were above the trees and there were no other buildings of similar height nearby, I got full afternoon sunlight. Summers were miserable and I suffered from insomnia greatly. Even blackout shades couldn't fix things due to the intensity of leakage around the edges. I suffered from many health issues, most likely due to poor sleep quality, during that time. It also harmed my performance at work. Things improved quickly when I sold my condo and bought a house with my bedroom facing south east.
