Automate Morning Sunlight Tag

Do you think is possible to automate the Morning Sunlight tag?
My thoughts are coming from the suggestions around circadian rhythm: “The key is to view morning sunlight for 5 to 10 minutes on clear days, and 10 to 20 minutes on overcast days. Those are minimums. More is better if you have time and access. Especially in winter,” Andrew Huberman suggests.
We could get the time of the day that the health app recognise that we are getting daylight and compare it to the time the user wakes up, and use the Maximum Light Intensity lux to understand if is a clear day or is overcast.

That's coming in the next update :)
EDIT: it won't include the sky luminosity, but it will track the amount of sunlight immediately after waking up.

Grey how does this work? It’s saying it’s strongly negative for my health but that seems contrary what I’ve read. It also feels like it’s wrong - I haven’t gotten morning sunlight but it says I have

Grey what does it mean “immedately”? What is the time span after waking up which counted as morning sunlight? I mean what if I go out 20 minutes after I woke up? Is it counted as morning sunlight or not?

Jonathan: This uses the "Time in Daylight" value in your Apple Health. By default, the Apple Watch will estimate when you're in daylight and will write this value automatically. We've noticed that sometimes it can be inaccurate for a number of reasons.
I believe there might be other smart devices that write this data. If you think it's inaccurate for your use case, I would recommend turning this off in your Journal settings.

Richard Koczur: If you have at least 20 mins of sunlight within 1 hour of waking up, this will be marked as checked automatically.
