Morning outdoor light

— minutes

Best taken within about an hour of waking. Morning light helps set your internal clock, supporting alertness during the day and easier sleep onset at night.

Why morning light matters

Bright light early in the day is one of the strongest cues your body uses to anchor its circadian rhythm — the internal clock that governs sleep, energy, and hormone timing.

Why evening screen light can disrupt sleep

Screens emit a lot of blue-enriched light, which can suppress melatonin and delay the body's signal that night has arrived. Warmer, dimmer red or amber light in the evening is far less disruptive.
