Counting Chimneys

"If you are feeling down you might try counting chimneys.

Your eyes have specialised light sensitive receptors which relay your surrounding light levels to a gland in your brain called the pineal gland.

In darkness the pineal gland produces Melatonin, a hormone which causes drowsiness in your body. Daylight inhibits the secretion of Melatonin.

By lifting your field of vision to chimney level your body is able to lift your mood."
