Sunshine/Sleep
I think we all know at this point how important sleep is right?
You might even already be doing all the nighttime things “right” to improve sleep
Avoiding screen time, cold bedroom, no food a couple hours before, etc…
One thing you might be missing is the aspect of sun in the A.M.
You may be familiar with circadian rhythm and how blue light spectrum can negatively effect your melatonin production and sleep.
The other end of balancing that circadian rhythm is getting sunlight in the A.M.
A lot of people don’t get sunlight in the A.M. and if they do, they have sunglasses on and are fully clothed so you’re really not getting much actual exposure to the A.M. sun rays.
Start w/ 5 minutes in the morning of sunlight with no shades and as much skin exposure as possible.
This could be via a walk, sitting outside for quite time, taking a phone call or whatever.
I hope this brightens up your day (no pun intended) and gives you some energy for those morning meetings!
