Morning light isn't just beautiful - it also helps reset your body clock and boosts alertness!
When you first open your eyes, feeling drowsy and heavy-headed is completely normal. This state of drowsiness lasts for 20-30 minutes when the brain is "restarting" after sleep.
To reduce early morning fatigue, experts recommend having a fixed bedtime and wake-up time every day, and ensuring enough sleep.
Sunbathing / getting natural light early helps regulate biological rhythms, inhibits melatonin, and wakes the body up to be more alert when you first wake up.
Don't overuse the snooze button to wake up and then go back to sleep many times, which disrupts the sleep cycle and makes you more lethargic when you actually have to wake up. A gentle alarm clock that gradually increases in brightness/slows down may be a better choice.
Daily lifestyle also affects: regular exercise helps you sleep more deeply, while coffee or alcohol, if consumed close to bedtime, can reduce the quality of sleep, making it more difficult to wake up the next day.
If you still feel tired after getting enough sleep or have difficulty falling asleep, you may have an underlying sleep problem; consider seeing a sleep specialist for specific advice.
Waking up healthy every morning is not a matter of luck, but is built from scientific sleeping habits: stable hours + enough sleep + morning light + avoiding stimulants + exercise are the keys to starting each day more fully.
