A couple weekends ago when I stayed at my parents house, I slept in the guest bedroom, which has poor curtain cover; sunshine streams in through the windows in the early morning (around 6am that week). At first, I was like, man it’s early to be up. But then sunshine was persistent, and it got me out of bed. I noticed that I was awake, and with a clear head, and I did not feel groggy the rest of the day.
Since then, I’ve been keeping my curtain half open to let in sunshine. I love waking up early and with a clear head. All these years I have been curtaining myself off from the mornings.
Who knew sunshine in the morning could make such a difference?
