With this knowledge, you can adjust lighting to help at certain times of the day.
"...natural lighting has been proven to reduce eye strain and headaches in office workers by 84%. Reductions in these issues during the workday automatically lead to increased outputs. Research shows...sitting next to a window can increase workers’ outputs by 16%," (ManagerUp).
