My ability to focus is almost unlimited in quantity, even though I did not get maximum sun exposure in the last few days--I generally need a lot of sun exposure for my brain to function optimally.
With 3-5 hours of deep work being possible in the past, 12 hours of deep concentrated work a day is now a possibility.

How much time do you need exactly? how noticeable the difference is usually with and without sun? Any noticeable effect of the moon light?
I'm sorry for responding this late Alpha. I notice a huge difference in with or without sun, but the benefits are not exponential. There's a sweet spot with regard to sunlight exposure.
While I can handle a UV index of 10-13 for about 2-3 hours, I get the best results with a UV index of 10 for about an hour exposure at noon each day.
Moon light does not affect me that much. The light is very faint, it's only 5 lux, which is about 25.000 - 35.000 times less bright than a full summer day. Nevertheless, there might be some credence to these stories about how people swear that moonlight decreases their sleep quality. For example, there is a study that a very weak light that is shone on the hamstring (so, not on the eyes!) can already surpress melatonin levels.
For the best effects, I generally do about 30 minutes of cold therogenesis in my 450 gallon tub in the morning (the water has cooled down during the night). The exposure length decreases greatly when the temperatures get closer to zero. I can handle almost freezing water for about 10 minutes now. Then breakfast follows. And then I go working in my room, with about 1250W of Halogen lamps projected at my body to mimic the morning sun.
