Numerous studies have demonstrated the positive impact that natural lighting can have on patient experiences, both in terms of overall mood and even overall recovery time. Exposure to regular rhythms of natural lighting can positively influence human sleeping patterns, which can play a large role in supporting positive moods and timely recoveries.

Light is the major synchronizer of circadian rhythms to the 24-hour solar day. Compared to the visual system, the circadian system requires more light to be activated and is more sensitive to short-wavelength light. For those confined indoors, such as patients or residents in care facilities, the lack of access to daylight, or electric lighting providing a comparable amount, spectrum, distribution, duration, and timing, may compromise their human health and well-being.

An inpatient mental health hospital was renovated with a newly built environment that incorporated patient-centered, clinically informed designs in an attempt to improve overall safety and quality of care. The new designs were considerably expensive and had extensive design implications for other parts of the hospital outside of the mental health facility.
