Humans appear to see sunrises and sunsets “almost like bookends”. Here’s what a dose of golden hour does for our memory, sleep and mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the eve of my wedding, my parents, husband-to-be and I watched a beautifully memorable sunset from the deck of a house in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cape Cod is famous for its “golden hour” light. On a narrowing peninsula almost entirely surrounded by water, moisture scatters the light of the Sun when it nears the horizon, creating a series of especially vivid oranges, golds and pinks that appear to melt into the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That day, a storm was also approaching from the west, making the unfurling colours look almost psychedelic. While the men snapped photos of the scene, my mother and I stood and watched, shivering in the crisp September air. As we went back inside, I wrapped my mother in a hug. All our nagging pre-wedding worries seemed to have set with the Sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we get stuck in negative thought loops, awe-inspiring events like sunsets can demand our attention, breaking the loop and bringing us back to the present<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the release that comes with the end of a long day no doubt helped, watching the sunset likely also played a role. In fact, there’s growing evidence that sunsets \u2013 and sunrises, for that matter \u2013 can have a meaningful impact on our brain and mental health: diminishing anxiety and depression while boosting memory, creativity, sleep and even altruism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
