LESSON 2 · Sleep Like Your Life Depends On It

Living in Rhythm

Work with your clock and the payoff is real:

  • Get morning sunlight within an hour of waking — the single most powerful move you can make
  • Eat in daylight hours — your body handles food best while the sun is up
  • Dim the lights after sunset — warm, low light lets melatonin build
  • Keep steady sleep times — even on weekends, hold the swing under one hour

You can't outsmart your biology, but you can stop fighting it.
