INSIGHT

Circadian Rhythm Reset by Morning Light

  • Your circadian rhythm is controlled by your internal body clock that operates on a 24-hour cycle.
  • Morning natural sunlight exposure resets this clock by triggering hormone changes that govern your sleep-wake cycle.
ADVICE

Morning Sunlight and Movement

  • Get outside within 10 to 15 minutes of waking and expose your skin and eyes to direct morning sunlight.
  • Add light movement such as walking or stretching outdoors to enhance blood flow and natural waking.
ADVICE

Hydrate After Morning Sunlight

  • After waking and outdoor sunlight exposure, immediately hydrate with filtered water and a pinch of high-quality salt.
  • This replenishes electrolytes, supports adrenal health, and energizes the nervous system calmly.
