Here’s why it works:
When you get sunlight in your eyes within the first 30–60 minutes of waking, it triggers a cascade of biological processes:
👉 Cortisol (your alertness hormone) rises at the right time
👉 Melatonin (your sleep hormone) is shut off, so your body knows it’s daytime
👉 You set your internal clock, or circadian rhythm, which impacts your sleep, mood, focus, and even metabolism
Andrew Huberman says morning sunlight is like “a cup of coffee for your brain and hormones - without the crash.”
And no, you can’t get the same benefits through a window or sunglasses.
So step outside, look toward the sun (not directly at it), and give your brain the signal it needs to thrive ☀️
