Morning Cortisol Boost

Waking up triggers a natural increase in body temperature, which leads to a peak in cortisol—an essential hormone for metabolism and focus. To optimize this cortisol spike, it's crucial to expose yourself to bright light, preferably sunlight, within the first 30 to 60 minutes after waking. This simple action can significantly enhance your energy and mental clarity throughout the day.
