Reminder: Soak up the morning sun

The morning sun is important! ☀️⁣ ⁣

Why?⁣ ⁣

We all have a circadian rhythm, which is the internal clock ⏰ that tells your body when it should be awake and alert and when it should be tired and sleeping. You might call it your ‘body clock’.⁣

Your circadian rhythm is affected by a number of factors but one of the biggest is the light in your environment.⁣

As explained by Sleep Foundation, when it’s dark outside, your eyes naturally signal to your brain that it’s time to feel tired. Your body then releases melatonin, which is the chemical that makes your body tired and puts you to sleep. When it’s light outside, your circadian rhythm tells you that you should be awake.⁣

Morning light sets off a cascade of hormones and neurotransmitters which make you feel good! So – the closer we align to the natural light of day, the healthier we will feel.

Some immediate benefits of experiencing the morning sun are improved sleep, more energy, happier eyeballs, healthier skin, a stronger immune system, and an overall sense of peace and calm.

Here’s our challenge to you – spend 10 minutes in the morning sun tomorrow and see how it makes you feel!
