Summary:
A surprising new strategy for managing your weight? Bright morning light. People who had most of their daily exposure to bright light in the morning had a significantly lower body mass index (BMI) than those who had most of their light exposure later in the day, reports a new study. The earlier light exposure occurred, the lower the BMI. The influence of morning light on weight was independent of physical activity, caloric intake, sleep timing, age or season."

Sunlight causes photosynthesis which will increase the bodies metabolism and that will burn more fat, so it does work.

I gotta think that if anyone is up early enough to see and be out in the early light, they are probably a type 'A' personality and more active to begin with. People like me who shun the early sun and believe being up before the sun is a crime, and prefer sunsets, are type 'Z' personalities and more likely to relax, chill, have a glass or three of wine and watch with interest as people jog past them.

I have no choice but get up before the sun or my dogs will use the bedroom floor for their potty spot.
That being said I prefer to get up early and go to bed early so I guess I am "A" personality.

I am up well before sunrise and go to bed many hours after sunset. I am not surprised at how tired I always seem to be.
