A few months ago, I explored early morning walking to reset my Circadian Clock, with some interesting results.
The number of people with sleeping issues is at an all-time high. So many of us spend hours in front of screens at work. Plus, constantly checking phones.
Do our brains have a chance to calm down?
Information Station
It is not a good self-care practice to constantly stimulate your brain.
Some experts advise that blue light may damage the human brain.
Whether the information you are absorbing is on a screen, or you are watching constant films, or listening to podcasts, you are overdosing on it. Your brain needs peace, but most of all, it requires real sunlight.
Not constant blue light or background noise. Having read much research on this topic, I decided to take action and reset a certain part of my brain.
What is your Circadian Clock?
According to Google, "The circadian clock, also known as the body's internal clock, is a biological rhythm that regulates various physiological processes, including sleep-wake cycles, hormone release, and metabolism, within a roughly 24-hour period."
What helps reset it?
It is said that getting out in the early morning sunlight resets your circadian clock. I recently started venturing out early to speed walk instead of running, as the latter can raise your insulin levels and cause even early morning waking.
After two days, I began to see results. I got back to sleep after waking early at two in the morning. So getting out there and doing my thing in the bright early morning sun as it rose over the hills worked.
