Imagine an all-natural, entirely free hack that improves sleep quality and has you kickstarting your day with a burst of energy that lasts until bedtime.
I know it sounds too good to be true. Heck, if I didn’t know better, I’d be looking for the catch, too.
But I assure you, it’s legit.
This simple change to your morning routine can deliver better nights and days…
The secret lies in embracing the early morning sunlight.
While we all know that sunlight is essential for our well-being, not all sunlight is created equal.
Morning sun, particularly within the first hour after sunrise, has a unique composition that sets it apart from the harsher midday rays we often associate with sun exposure.
Early morning sunlight contains more blue light wavelengths than other times. This blue-rich light is crucial role for regulating our circadian rhythm, the internal biological clock that governs our sleep-wake cycle.
When our eyes are exposed to this specific type of light, it…
- suppresses melatonin production, the hormone responsible for making us feel sleepy, and,
- triggers the release of cortisol, which helps us feel alert and energized
Morning sunlight exposure also increases serotonin levels. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that contributes to feelings of well-being and happiness. This natural mood boost can set a positive tone for the entire day.
Make a habit of stepping outside for just 10-15 minutes shortly after waking up. You can harness the power of morning sunlight to reset your body clock, increase your daytime energy levels, and improve your sleep quality at night.
Make this daily habit stick by combining it with another simple routine like having your coffee on the porch, walking your dog, or doing light stretches in your yard.
This easy change to your routine could be the key to unlocking a more vibrant, well-rested version of yourself. Go ahead and give it a try.
