Contentment Concurrent quotations

30-60 minutes of bright light exposure may increase cognitive performance and alertness.

This interaction dials down melatonin, the sleep hormone, ushering in alertness. Concurrently, there's a sharp spike in our cortisol levels, known as the cortisol awakening response. This isn't just about feeling awake; it's directly linked to enhanced cognitive clarity and performance. Consider aiming for 30-60 minutes of outdoor light exposure in the morning for a symphony of neurochemical shifts that benefit cognition and mood.
