They don't mention about temperature. Is it controlled for? Winter months are know to be "sadder" than summer months.

- sokoloff 3y agoI'd expect that difference to be driven by sunlight amount rather than by temperature. Cold is easier to deal with than dark and gloomy when I go to work and dark and gloomy when I come home.
- philote 3y agoI'm curious if they controlled for sunlight then. I'm in a mountainous area and many areas (like where my house is) have mountains blocking sunlight for multiple hours in a day. Couple that with being in a wooded area and even some summer days can feel dark and gloomy. But in my case, being surrounded by nature far outweighs the lack of light in terms of depression.
