Most people know that really good nights sleep consistently for 7-9 hours is best for their health but very few people know how to get it. This thread is about one important tool that can make u sleep better.
Viewing light early in the day, ideally sunlight is key to setting up sleep wake rhythm and for allowing u to fall asleep easily at night. Understand what’s going in your brain and body during a typical 24 hour day
Most people tend to wake up sometime around when the sun rises. An hour before to couple of hours after sunrise. As we do that our system generates a hormone called Cortisol from your adrenal gland. It sends a signal to the body to increase the HR, tending muscles, moving about
It is important that the dose of cortisol happens early in the day in one go. When this happens another important activity happens. A timer is set in our body about releasing another hormone which is called melatonin which makes us sleepy.
In about 12-14 hours after wake up melatonin is release from Pineal glands. So viewing light early in the day activates the time when we feel sleepy. Get the sunlight exposure for 2-10 minutes within one hour of waking up. Exercising in the morning also helps to get sleepy
Health lies in healthy circadian habits.Circadian clocks turn on &off thousands of genes at the right time of the day &night. Light is the main way to set up a perfect circadian clock. So aim to enjoy sunrise &sunset.They will help u best to sleep well. #gettingfitterwithSandeep
