Melatonin is a chemical released naturally by the brain that tells the body it's time to be asleep, essentially. Afifesha says turning on bright lights when you wake up can help get your body feeling more awake and ready to get going. Katie: It's really important to keep a relatively consistent schedule - even eating at about the same time as relative to when you go to bed can make a difference.
