Promoters ofSunlight

Sunlight is one of the most powerful forces for human health — and most of us aren't getting nearly enough of it. At Sollees, we're on a mission to change that: by sharing the science, and helping people understand what natural light actually does for the body. Because the first step to living better is knowing what you've been missing.

From the physics of light to the habits that change your health — everything you need to know about sunlight.

SeasonsWired for Sunlight, Living in the DarkA typical day for many people looks like this: wake up before dawn in artificial light, commute in a dark car or underground train, sit in an office under fluorescent lighting for eight hours, come home after sunset, and spend the evening in front of screens.

Bridge the Gap

It started with a simple discovery: the light most of us live under barely scratches the surface of what sunlight does for the human body. Sunlight shapes our sleep, our mood, our energy, our health — and most of us are running on far too little of it. Sollees exists to bridge that gap, between the biology we were born with and the reality we live in. Everything we write, and the things we are building, comes back to that.
