One of the most important benefits of having a skylight installed in your home is with regards to your health. It was mentioned in an earlier paragraph that skylights help to mitigate the growth and proliferation of mold and mildew, but the health benefits of having a skylight installed goes beyond that. For one, the natural sunlight coming in from the skylight helps to provide you with additional vitamin D that you need in order to produce serotonin, a natural chemical in the body which helps to regulate your mood and therefore helps you to relax. This is rather important since many people are diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency annually, and along with vitamin B1, can lead to beri beri and rickets. Also, the brightness helps to combat eye strain and fatigue which can greatly affect our productivity throughout the day. Poor lighting has been associated with headaches and migraines as well, so if your experience such, then you may want to consider better illumination for your space with operable skylights.
