One thing I’ve found very recently is that walking outside early in the mornings does wonders for your sleep.
I’ve been a light, disrupted sleeper for as long as I can remember, but a walk outside and getting daylight on retina has the effect of shutting down melatonin levels, properly starting your day in biological terms. Now I hit 11:30pm and feel genuinely sleepy, which is novel in and of itself and get nearly double the deep sleep I was getting before.
Doing the exact same walk at midday does not have the same effect.
The impact of feeling genuinely rested and refreshed is life-changing.
