As autumn and winter wake up easily and in a good mood

Have you ever noticed how hard it is to wake up in the winter, when the sun has not yet risen, and you already have to get ready for work? Even after a shower, charging and coffee you still yawning and sleeping on the move. In principle, these problems are already noticeable in the autumn when it dawns later, and mostly overcast morning. Sluggishness in the morning explained very simply: the body is not enough light. How to make up for this loss and to wake up refreshed at any time of the year, see this article.

At first, we shall understand the origins of the problem. Circadian rhythms are human, that is, the internal schedule of our body, is directly dependent on the amount of light. Visual receptors respond to light level and send signals to the brain, and then begins production of hormones necessary for sleep and waking.

By morning, the body stops producing melatonin (sleeping hormone), and cortisol (hormone vigor), on the contrary, increased. As a result of this configuration of the body you will gradually wake up and start the morning without drowsiness and poor mood.

In winter and autumn, the amount of light in the morning significantly reduced, and the circadian rhythms of the body are not in line with our work schedule. So, to give yourself courage in the morning, you need enough light. But just turn a bright light after waking up - it's not the best solution. Your body is not prepared for the awakening, you are subjected to stress from his sharp alarm sound, and then another, and abruptly turned on the light after the darkness.

So, you need something as close as possible to natural conditions, your "personal Dawn", which will be attack just before the time when you want to wake up gradually to flare up in your bedroom and gently wake you.
