When I moved in to my apartment in Oxfordshire,we were not aware at the time with how important light would be on our health and wellbeing. We choice the apartment as it is very near to shops and other leisure facilities, but also very close to work.The windows in the apartment is very small and in the winter months when it gets dark at 4pm we have to switch lights on as we work from home.  Because of the position of our apartment we lose lots of light from the other buildings that surround use. Day light is important in bringing a sense of wellbeing  and also sunlight, as the nights draw closer, I find that getting outside for my daily dose of sunlight really helps with up lighting my mood and sense of wellbeing. There is a small area in my apartment in the height of summer where we get sun beaming through the windows. In my case good energy can also save energy, with the increasing price of energy on the rise. I am trying to find a balance between saving electric lighting and heat loss through windows, which can be up to six times as much heat loss through a solid wall. The question is how important is light when you live in a house, and work all day, and spend most of your time at home in the evenings. I my self have two sets of curtains one for Spring and Summer, and the heavy curtains
