Pigasus said: 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?
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... 
yeah I'm sure i've just grown to take our excellent weather for granted. If you live by the beach it never gets too hot because of the ocean air, but the further inland you go the more oppressively hot it gets. san bernardino county is evidence of this. luckily I live pretty close to the coast.

I used to usually hang out in La Jolla cause I was working there in high tech. Pacific Beach is a really nice, once you get past the morning marine layer. But when the sun is out in SD, its about one of the best places I know of.

That being said, on occasion, I can dig on some sunlight. I'm definitely a night owl though.
100% agree. I actually fantasize about living somewhere where it's dark for months. Hell yeah! My room is pitch black during the day too. I don't seem to be depressed and my time in the sun is extremely limited. Maybe I should start takin' some pills tho' to experiment...

it certainly does! being outside in the sunshine just makes me feel happy, or if im really upset or angry, it calms those negative feelings and makes me feel more peaceful and content.
i believe i have a mild form of depression, and sunny days definately boost my mood, acting like an anti-depressant like you said OP. motivates me to do all sorts of things too. its kind of amazing how much of an impact the sunshine has on my mood and well-being. for these reasons, ive seriously contemplated moving someplace where there are warm and sunny days majority of the year. not enough of these days in canada!

yeah man, like i'll go outside when it's about 85 or 90 and i'll do a bunch of push-ups and take a long walk while in direct sunlight and i get a great workout and sweat a lot, really sore afterwards but it makes me happy for some reason.

I prefer a mix of the sun and shade. It really depends on the temperature outside. A nice cold sunshine equals highly elevated mood.

I love the sun. 
Nothing like tripping or smoking on a nice sunny day.
I love when I'm tripping and it's cloudy and I get waves of euphoria and epiphanies and sun comes out shinning brighter than ever and it's like 'Fuck yeah'.
The sunshine is my fix.
