Did you know that sunlight within the first 1 hour of waking reduces stress? ☀️
While cortisol sometimes gets a bad rap, sunlight hitting your eyes in the morning can suppress melatonin and increase cortisol, boosting energy levels for the rest of your day.
Sunshine helps your circadian rhythm and even helps you sleep at night - melatonin slowly rises throughout the day with a natural arch, allowing for improved sleep at night.
This is part of my daily routine but this morning someone else had the same thing in mind. 🐶
I had to find another spot in the sun!
