Getting 5–30 minutes of early morning sunlight within an hour of waking resets the circadian rhythm by triggering cortisol release and stopping melatonin production, leading to better sleep-wake cycles, improved mood, and higher energy. This natural light exposure signals the brain's master clock to align with the solar day, supporting deeper sleep at night.

Justina from Keys to Caring, LLC. did a wonderful job presenting the importance of this for seniors at this year's SCAPA conference. Thank you!

And although windows do decrease the efficacy, it's still nice to sit in a window for your daily reading!
