Morning Sunlight

What it is

  • Getting bright outdoor light in the eyes early after waking (and full-spectrum daytime light).

How it works

  • Anchors the circadian rhythm (cortisol-awakening response, evening melatonin timing) via melanopsin signalling — the same pathway Epithalon is hypothesised to support (melanopsin upregulation).

Goal relevance

  • Foundational for sleep/REM and for the nighttime GH pulse that pre-sleep GH peptides augment; supports hormonal health broadly.

How to do it

  • ~10–30 min outdoor light soon after waking; pair with darkness/low blue light at night.

Cautions

  • Don’t stare at the sun; UV caution midday.
