Better sleep could start the moment you wake up.
Your daytime routine can have more of an impact on your sleep than you might think. Getting some natural light early in the day helps your body clock recognise that it’s morning and supports your natural sleep-wake rhythm. So, before reaching for the caffeine, try reaching for some daylight first!
Here are a few simple ways to get started: Open the curtains as soon as you wake up Take a morning walk, even if it’s just around the garden Have breakfast near a window Enjoy your morning coffee outside when you can Even a few minutes of natural light early in the day can help reinforce the difference between daytime and night-time.
Sleep isn’t just about what happens when your head hits the pillow.
It starts with the habits you build throughout your day.
