Morning Light Benefits

Bright light exposure in the morning, especially from sunlight, significantly boosts the morning cortisol spike, enhancing mood, focus, and alertness throughout the day. Early in the day, the circadian visual system requires intense light to wake up, while minimal light in the evening can disrupt sleep signals. Opting for softer light sources like candles at night can help maintain a healthy circadian rhythm.
