However indoor office lighting typically provides only about 300 to 500 lux. 　　One in three Britons suffers from poor sleep, with stress, computers and taking work home often blamed for the lack of quality slumber. 　　However, the cost of all those sleepless nights is more than just bad moods and a lack of focus. 　　Regular poor sleep raises the risk of serious medical conditions like obesity, heart and diabetes - and can even shorten life expectancy. 　　Adequate exposure to natural daylight is known to be crucial for governing the body s circadian rhythm - the built-in clock which dictates our sleeping and waking patterns.
