14 Common Morning Mistakes That Leave You Exhausted All Day

5. Ignoring Morning Light Exposure

Exposure to natural light in the morning is crucial for regulating your body's internal clock, also known as the circadian rhythm. This rhythm influences your sleep-wake cycle and energy levels throughout the day. By spending time in natural light shortly after waking, you signal to your body that it's time to be alert and active. This can improve mood, enhance focus, and boost energy levels. If natural light exposure is limited, consider using a light therapy box to simulate sunlight and help regulate your circadian rhythm.
