How not to wither a programmer?

Question

Iron

It's no secret that we have to work in rooms lit by artificial light.
But while we have not yet transferred consciousness into cyber-organisms, an ordinary organism requires a treatment learned during evolution, in particular, sunlight.
This is especially true in big cities. In Moscow, in my opinion, either smog or clouds - I no longer remember what the sun looks like.
I heard out of the corner of my eye about “lamps of the full solar spectrum”, but for some reason the search engine finds either aquarium lamps or suspicious sites resembling sellers of zirconium bracelets.
So, is the full spectrum lamp myth or reality? And where to buy?

Answer 1

What people will not go to for outdoor activities and sports not to do =)

Answer 2

And where is it written that working under the sun is useful?
Yes, a person should periodically be in the sun and fresh air, but this does not mean that it is useful to constantly sit under the sunlight. Throw away the idea of ​​using full sunlight lamps, because. direction is wrong. It's better to go for a walk before work.

Answer 3

Program next to a source of daylight - a window. Programming outdoors. And if you sit under a lamp, then under a brighter lamp, nothing good for your health will happen in the semi-darkness.

Answer 4

This is controversial stuff. As always, the wiki will help us.

The non-profit Lighting Research Center, a group of utility companies, experts and government agencies, established the National Lighting Product Information Program (NLPIP) in the USA to provide objective information about the effectiveness of different lighting systems. According to the NLPIP, full-spectrum light does not provide any improved benefits over similar light systems.[3][4]
A Cornell University study reached mixed conclusions on the use of full-spectrum lighting in restaurants to promote sales.[5]
The National Research Council of Canada Institute for Research in Construction, a Canadian government research and development agency, has published several scientific articles about full-spectrum lighting, collected on their web page. The authors of these papers also have concluded that full-spectrum lighting (~5000 K, CRI>90) does not confer any benefits on performance, mood, or health compared to typical cool-white fluorescent lighting.[6][7]

And follow the links in the basement. I think the effect, if any, is more from self-hypnosis :)
Well, you can buy it here on eBay . I liked the device for a marine aquarium, with its help you can simulate a full daily light cycle from moonrise to sunset.

Answer 5

Move to Thailand, there is always a lot of sun.

Answer 6

Outdoor activities are definitely a must. First of all, this is physical activity, and it is better to do this, of course, outside of large cities. I’m not sure about the need for sunlight, people are still not plants, although some kind of synthesis takes place with the participation of ultraviolet radiation (cholecalciferol, vitamin D). Of the simple ones, incandescent lamps are closest to the solar spectrum, but they have problems with ultraviolet light.

Answer 7

Work outdoors, somewhere outside the city in the country or in Thailand, for example.

Answer 8

I recommend something from a series of track metal-leg lamps for indoors. It helps me, the light is very strong, like the real sun. Here's an example: www.lampik.ru/svetilniki/potolochnie_i_trekovie_svetilniki/ The best is 150 watts.

Answer 9

Maybe add some UV in the winter?
From the first links from the search engine - spiromed.ru/kvartcevye_lampy_dlya_doma.html
In the section of sports swimming in winter, once a week, we were irradiated with ultraviolet for several minutes and given ascorbic acid.
