Morning Light Benefits
Improving sleep quality goes beyond just spending more time in bed; stabilizing sleep schedules is crucial. Exposure to natural morning light within 20 minutes of waking helps signal the body to release melatonin, promoting better sleep. Engaging in morning rituals like horizon gazing and breathwork can enhance heart rate variability and overall well-being, setting a positive tone for the day ahead.In this clip

Where do I start with incorporating morning sunlight into my routine to improve sleep?
Is my current schedule of going to sleep at 8 PM, waking up at 3 AM, using a light therapy lamp, working out in the morning, taking cold showers, and going outside for approximately 40 minutes at 6 AM enough to stabilize my circadian rhythm if I cannot get immediate sunlight exposure to my eyes? Also, is there a significant difference between my schedule and someone who wakes up at 6 PM with the sunrise and goes outside for 30 minutes?
