15. The 5-Minute Morning Habit Your Sleep Depends On
Still waking up tired no matter how many hours you sleep? Dragging through your mornings, crashing in the afternoons, and lying awake at night when you desperately want to rest?
It’s not just about food, workouts, or even supplements. It’s about your circadian rhythm, and one of the simplest ways to reset it is what you do in the first 30–60 minutes of your day.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
- Why morning light is one of the most powerful hormone regulators God built into your body
- How it impacts cortisol, melatonin, thyroid function, energy, mood, and even weight
- What happens when you skip it (flat cortisol curve, restless nights, brain fog, cravings)
- Simple, practical ways to get morning light—even if you wake before sunrise
- How I personally use my Luminette 3 light therapy glasses for early mornings, travel, and jet lag
