Stress reduction is a big focus when trying to figure out how to improve ones well being for individuals in the workplace. Among the many different environmental features known to aid in recovery from stressful experiences, research has shown that simply having a window with a view can greatly decrease stress. Studies have also demonstrated that patients in hospitals whose windows provided views with a view of nature recovered more quickly and used less pain medication than those with no view. On top of that, people who had offices with more attractive views reported better sleep quality and reduced discomfort.
