I wonder if the red/blue shift as we approach and move away from the sun each year is detectable?
My guess is yes, but I’ve never seen any research on it.
I suspect our bodies can sense spring is coming from that. I swear I feel like I can.

“If you flip our findings around, the insufficient sunlight exposure we get 8 months of the year living in a northern climate may be promoting fat storage and contribute to the typical weight gain some of us have over winter.” Promoting fat storage in winter's probably a survival adaptation...

We need energy etc when we are awake and active. This is a way to store some fat and release it when it is needed, i.e. during the day.
It is easy to do an experiment:
A) Eat late dinner and food in the evening.
B) Do not eat anything after say 5 pm.
Two weeks of B followed by two weeks of A and another two weeks of B. Make sure that you eat the exact type and amount of food during A and B.
Measure your weight.
Result: What is your guess?
Simplified explanation: Fats are secreted a few hours after the meal, and if we have a late meal the fats are secreted when we are sleeping i.e. when we do not need the extra energy => increase in body weight.
