TAKE OFF YOUR SUNGLASSES. YOU ARE BLINDING YOUR BODY'S INTERNAL CLOCK.
When you step outside into the sun, the light enters your eyes and hits your retina. This sends an immediate signal to your hypothalamus—the master clock of your brain.
This signal tells your body what time it is. It triggers the production of serotonin for daytime energy, and sets the timer for melatonin production 12 hours later so you can sleep.
When you wear sunglasses, you intercept this signal.
Your eyes tell your brain it is cloudy or dark, even when you are standing in direct sunlight. Your body gets confused. It does not produce enough serotonin. It does not prepare the melatonin for the night.
The result? You feel tired during the day, and you cannot sleep at night.
Your eyes were designed to absorb natural light. It is the most important biological signal your body receives.
Stop hiding from the sun. Let your eyes see the light. Your sleep, your mood, and your hormones depend on it.
