Suffering From ‘Indoor Syndrome’? Rangers Share Cure in Funny Video

A funny parody video from Bryce Canyon National Park addresses “indoor syndrome,” a made-up (yet very real) condition in which people spend too much time indoors. Thankfully, the National Park Service (NPS) employees at Bryce Canyon have the cure: Outdoortime-emide.

Symptoms of indoor syndrome include brain fog and restlessness, according to the hilarious PSA. The video shows a woman struggling to complete tasks indoors, such as working on a computer and doing research in a textbook. At one point, she lies on the floor with a book covering her face. She then gazes longingly out a window.

Then, the narrator introduces Outdoortime-emide, the miracle cure.

“With just 20 minutes a day of Outdoortime-emide, studies show an immediate mood boost that can lead to increased life satisfaction,” the video says.

There are side effects, of course. In this case, side effects may include things like “spontaneous smiling,” “frolicking,” and “becoming a recluse in the woods.”

Watch the video and decide for yourself if Outdoortime-emide is right for you:

Though the video is in jest, the message is serious. The caption points out that studies show people spend about 90% of their time indoors. Bryce Canyon rangers say this type of sedentary lifestyle can have mental and physical repercussions, ranging from stress to feelings of isolation. Spending time outdoors—even 20 minutes a day—can help reduce these symptoms.

Do you suffer from indoor syndrome? Will you try some Outdoortime-emide?
