• Seeing the sunrise helps reset the body's master clock and improves biological coherence, which supports mental and physical performance.

  a molecular biology PhD

• Other wavelengths of light besides UVB are still beneficial for mitochondrial function and vascular health even when vitamin D synthesis is not possible.

  a board-certified cardiologist

• Sunrise light activates blue light receptors in the eyes that tell the brain it's morning, triggering cortisol production and hunger.
