Did you know?
Being outdoors can increase our sleep quality. Studies show that natural sunlight helps set the body's internal clock that tells us when to eat and sleep.
"'This was a great activity to take a brief pause from everything going on. I felt relaxed afterwards, and saw things I had never noticed before in my local park."
