How to Feel Energized and Sleep Better With One Morning Activity - Dr. Andrew Huberman

Andrew Huberman, a health and wellness expert, shares a simple morning activity that can help you feel energized and sleep better: triggering a cortisol spike by looking at the sun. Cortisol, also known as the "stress hormone," plays a crucial role in regulating our circadian rhythm and energy levels. By exposing our eyes to natural light, specifically sunlight, in the morning, we can help our body naturally increase cortisol production and feel more awake and alert. Andrew suggests doing this for just a few minutes, ideally around sunrise, for best results. This simple yet effective morning activity can help set the tone for a productive and energized day, and improve your overall sleep quality at night.
