Natural sunlight helps with sleep

I am a notoriously poor sleeper and am actively exploring new ways to stay asleep longer. I’ve read that early morning exposure to natural daylight helps by setting our circadian rhythm to the right time of day. One of the things I enjoy is getting up to watch the sun rise, especially in a place like Florida.

I like this quote from a recent article on the metabolic benefits of sunlight:

“We are unwise to mess with the billions of years of development of the relationship between biological organisms and the sun, and yet modern life makes it exceedingly challenging to be naturally regulated by light.”

I’ve been able to tolerate more safe sun exposure by cutting out seed oils from my diet. As always, the amount of sun exposure that works for me, may not for you.
