The Importance of Maintaining a Stable Wake-Up Time and Exposure to Sunlight

Maintaining a stable wake-up time and getting exposure to sunlight is crucial for regulating our circadian rhythm and ensuring a predictable sleep experience. Our circadian rhythm, controlled by a master clock in our brain, is responsible for our feelings of alertness throughout the day. Sunlight acts as a key environmental stimulus for our circadian rhythm. Therefore, it is recommended to maintain a stable wake-up time to get sunlight in the morning, as this helps set in motion a feeling of alertness that persists throughout the day.
