Why Morning Light is Better Than Coffee

Hey Neurotweaker!

You wake up groggy, reach for your phone, then your coffee.
But your brain still feels like it’s buffering.

Here’s the reason:
☕ Coffee wakes you up… but it doesn’t set your internal clock.
🌞 Morning sunlight does.

Here’s why it matters:
Your circadian rhythm – your internal 24-hour body clock – controls way more than you think:
🧠 Focus
😴 Sleep quality
😌 Mood
⚡ Energy levels

And the best way to set it?
Get direct sunlight in your eyes within 30–60 minutes of waking up.

💡 How to do it:
✅ Go outside (no sunglasses) for 5–10 minutes
✅ Don’t get light through a window – it’s 50x weaker
✅ Overcast day? Still works – it’s about brightness, not warmth

This morning light triggers cortisol to rise (good in the morning!), and melatonin to shut off.
Later that night, your melatonin comes back stronger – and boom: better sleep.

Try this tomorrow instead of doom-scrolling.
Then DM me @neurotweak and tell me how your focus feels by 10AM.

Stay bright,
