Exposure to sunlight as soon as you wake up suppresses melatonin and sets up your circadian rhythm for the day. This also helps you fall asleep early at night and reduces insomnia symptoms along with other sleep-related issues. This exposure to light for its health benefits is the highlight of &#8216;Light Therapy&#8217;. <\/p>\n<p>Tips to make the most of early morning sunlight for improving sleep cycles<br \/>\n\u2022 Try exposing yourself to sunlight for about 30 to 45 minutes daily. Ideally, this practice should be done within the first hour of waking up.<br \/>\n\u2022 If possible, go outside to get sunlight exposure, as natural light is much stronger than indoor lighting.<br \/>\n\u2022 Avoid wearing sunglasses as the light will get filtered, and the effect won&#8217;t be substantial.<\/p>\n<p>Sunlight directly affects your circadian clock as it significantly impacts your sleep cycles. The lighter your room during the day and the darker your room at night, the easier it is for your body to stay alert and have quality sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nutrition"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.3 (Yoast SEO v25.3) -
