Struggling with sleep. Waking up tired, even after a full night in bed.

It’s not always stress — often, it’s light.

Melatonin, the hormone that helps you fall and stay asleep, is blocked by blue light.

Not just any light — the kind from your phone, laptop, and LEDs.

When you scroll in the dark or stay on screens after sunset, your brain thinks it’s still daytime.

And melatonin isn’t just for sleep. It’s made inside your mitochondria — the part of your cells that make energy.

Without enough melatonin, your cells don’t clean up oxidative damage properly. That means low energy, poor recovery, and faster aging.

Getting sunlight in the morning helps reset your circadian clock.

Avoiding artificial light at night helps keep melatonin flowing.

Sleep improves. Energy returns. It starts with light.

As soon as you wake up, try to get sunlight in your eyes within 15 minutes. Make it a daily habit and notice the difference.
