I have noticed that when I (and other family members and friends) have the 
flu or other frustrating but non-life-threatening illnesses, the symptoms 
seem to get worse in the evening: fevers spike, coughing and sneezing 
increase, ache and fatigue are more bothersome. Does this have any 
connection to sunlight?
