Does Sunshine Make You Happy?

Since I've moved back to New Mexico, I'm getting baked everyday by the brilliant sun, getting a dark tan, and I've noticed my mood has really elevated. I feel more motivated, and 'happy' as though I am taking an anti-depressant, though Im not taking any now.
Is there is something to be said about the synthesis of certain chemicals in your body by exposure to sunlight? Does it increase levels of neurotransmitters, etc? I heard on NOVA that one of the theories of early life was that sunlight caused chemical reactions and helped to form RNA compounds (Or something like that.)

Fuck yeah it does. You know in london they have rooms with bright lights that mimic sunlight because people are so depressed over there? What with all that rain and cloud. Try it yourself - on a particularly cold and miserable day, go find a bright light and stare at it for a while. Definitely helps my mood.

I prefer the dark..
I LOVE the winter when it is freezing cold and it starts to get dark at like 4pm. Wish it was like that year round.
That being said, on occasion, I can dig on some sunlight. I'm definitely a night owl though.

My doctor told me they were finding that lack of sunshine--not lack of vitamin D--was being implicated in a lot of depression and mental problems. That is, the amount of D needed was much more than previously thought, and that good sunshine ensures it.

If the sun is shining, it's time to get high.

I live in southern california where it's almost always sunny so I can't say sunlight makes me particularly happy, if anything if it's been a long hot summer the sun can make me pretty fucking angry. it's the gloomy weather that makes me happy, but I'm sure if I lived in the pacific northwest or something it would be the exact opposite. familiarity breeds contempt?

My mood is definitely altered by the weather, I seem to get more euphoric during storms.

I used to live in San Diego for 8 years, I loved being able to get into tank-top and shorts almost anyday, and go trolling for bitches at the mall. The sunshine sure did make it more of a happy feeling...
