If I were trying to take charge of my health...
One of the FIRST things I would prioritize is sleep.
Since we’ve been talking about brain health, it’s SO important to remember that sleep is one of our brain’s best “tools” for recovery, memory, and overall brain function.
The only problem?
A lot of us struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep!
While bedtime routines are great for training your body to wind down at a certain time…
Something I wish someone would have told me sooner is that good sleep actually starts with how much natural light you get during the day.
A study from Northwestern University found that exposure to natural light during the day — particularly in the morning — can significantly improve sleep quality and duration.
👉 This can be as simple as having your morning coffee outside, going for a quick walk to get your day started, or even just sitting by a sunny window.
Doing this helps regulate your body’s sleep-wake cycles, which makes it easier to fall asleep at night and wake up refreshed.
