Get morning sunlight exposure
Description
Neuroscientists reveal: 10-30 minutes of morning sunlight resets your body clock, boosts mood chemicals, improves focus, and enhances vitamin D production naturally.
Why we recommend this
- Morning sunlight exposure sets circadian rhythm and improves focus
- Dr. Samer Hattar's research demonstrates how morning light exposure directly influences learning and memory formation
- Dr Andrew Huberman strongly emphasises this as a key driver of mental performance
- Dr. Michael Holick notes that glass filters out necessary UV-B rays, making outdoor exposure essential
- Supports vitamin D synthesis and mood regulation
- Dr. Michael Mosley emphasises that UK latitude makes it impossible to get adequate vitamin D from sunlight between October and March
Usage
10-30 minutes of direct sunlight
Timing
Within 30-60 minutes of waking
Important notes
- Use sun protection if exposure exceeds 10-15 minutes
- Cloudy days require longer exposure time
