This is my Guide to Embracing the sun in your life
Living in harmony with my body's natural rhythms has been a game-changer for me. If you're curious about adopting a circadian lifestyle, I've put together a little cheat sheet from my experience and research. This is complementary to my documentary about the sun - at the bottom of this you will find all the science backing everything up. It's all about aligning our daily life with the natural cycle of our internal clock. Here's why it's worth it and how you can do it:
Why Go Circadian?
- Sleep Like a Dream: Syncing with your body's clock means better, more restful sleep. It's a night and day difference, literally.
- Mood Magic: Feeling brighter and more stable, mood-wise. It's like natural therapy.
- Health Perks: Lower risks of the big nasties like obesity, heart disease Cancer and Neurological diseases. Plus, my energy levels are more consistent throughout the day.
How to Circadian Your Life
Step by Step
1. Morning Sunshine: I kickstart my day with sunlight. Just a quick 10-30 minute dose as soon as I wake up. It tells my brain, "Hey, it's go time!"
2. Sleep Rhythm: Hitting the pillow and waking up at the same time daily. Yes, weekends too. It's tough love for my sleep cycle. Especially with combining sleeping on the floor - my sleep hasn’t been that good in the last years. (Sleep Video: https://youtu.be/ICnLS1BbZ_w)
3. Light Lowdown: Cutting down on bright and white lights and screens before bedtime to let my melatonin do its thing.
4. Eat Smart: I aim to eat my biggest meal when the sun's shining brightest and dial down on late-night snacking.
5. Move It: Daytime is for moving; it keeps my internal clock tick-tocking correctly. Evening activities are more chill, like a leisurely stroll.
6. Bedroom Bliss: My bedroom is a cave – cool, dark, and quiet. Blackout curtains and a hint of white noise can work wonders.
Early Days Expectations
- Adjustment Time: Took me a few days to a few weeks to find my rhythm.
- Energy Boost: Once I adjusted, my daytime alertness and energy levels noticeably improved.
- Sleep Quirks: Initially, there were some hiccups with falling asleep, but they smoothed out.
Pro Tips
- Patience, Frens: It doesn't happen overnight. Give it time.
- Consistency Is Key: Stick to the routine as much as possible for the best results.
- Body Talk: Listening to my body helped me fine-tune things. If something felt off, I tweaked it.
- Be Kind to Yourself: It's okay to slip up now and then. Just hop back on the wagon.
- It's a Package Deal: Sleep, light, diet, and activity – it's all connected. Keeping everything in check makes a huge difference.
This journey has been enlightening for me, and I hope my little cheat sheet helps you find your rhythm too. Remember, it's about making small, sustainable changes that add up to a big impact on your well-being. Let's live our best circadian lives!
