To Sleep Better Do This
In my 37 years of chiropractic practice, I can't tell you how many people have told me that, for no specific reason, they sleep poorly. This is unfortunate because adequate sleep is for our health. . This article will discuss a helpful method to obtain proper sleep.
For many of us, we are inside our homes, schools, and places of work in the morning, and we don't get outside, in natural sunlight, until the afternoon.
If possible, try getting outside for 15-30 minutes earlier in the day or at least before noon. Keep in mind that while indoor light is helpful it is not the same as full-spectrum outdoor sunlight.
When outdoor sunlight enters the human eyeball, it activates receptors that send stimulating nerve input to the brain. The brain then sends signals to all the individual trillions of body cells by a process called photobiomodulation.
. Human beings are diurnal creatures
However, we must use the light of the sun and the darkness of the night to direct proper diurnal rhythms.
By getting outdoors earlier in the day we develop better cycles of being active during daylight hours and having a better outcome for sleeping well at nighttime. Even on a cloudy day, outdoor light delivers adequate full-spectrum stimulation to our brain, provided we get that sunlight exposure earlier in the day.Younger children living at home would certainly get a better night's sleep if they were encouraged to play outside earlier in the day versus later.
.
School-age children getting outside for recess in the morning will be in good shape to get their early sunlight. Older children, who don't have recess, might walk to school if it's close enough or goes to the bus stop a bit earlier for their outdoor daylight benefit.
It may take several weeks of practicing what I'm suggesting here to establish a rhythm and get into a pattern of sleeping well. When the benefits of getting a good night's sleep will have far-reaching effects on improving many aspects of our health and lives.
