Expose yourself to light

 

It's important to 'find the light' in order toproperly wake your body up.

 

This can be done by opening the curtains, steppingoutside, or even using an illuminating² alarm clock if you have to wake upbefore the sun.

 

These alarm clocks aim to imitate a sunrise andslowly fill the room up with light.

 

Exposure to light is an important part of waking up,as it is directly linked to the body's production of melatonin.

 

Melatonin is a hormone³ secreted⁴ in the brain that plays a major role in regulating sleep.

 

It's produced when you are in darkness, and drops when exposed to sunlight.
