A Game Changer for Sleep

Sometimes quality sleep can take a hit when the clocks change, or when a family member doesn't sleep well, or when your mind is circling in stress.

One of the best ways to prepare yourself for great sleep,
is to balance your circadian rhythm.
This rhythm depends greatly on the amount of sunlight (aka luxes) that we are exposed to in a day.
Exposure to a significant amount of luxes in the morning is important for our biological rhythm. Just like, in contrast, limiting the amount of luxes we are exposed to in the evening is important for this rhythm and your sleep cycle.

Game-changer Tip:
Get outside for 20 minutes each morning between the hours of 8-10am and expose your eyes to natural sunlight. (No sunglasses!) Bundle up, because this will benefit you grateful in the winter months!
In the evenings, gradually dim your lights and create a completely dark bedroom, no lights from tech or windows!

Examples of Exposure Levels:
Sunny Day: 30,000 luxes
Cloudy Day: 10-15,000 luxes
A Bright Office: 500-1,000 luxes
A Dark Room: 0 luxes

Wishing you restful and restorative sleep!
