Natural light: A free resource to boost your energy

What can you do to boost your energy naturally?

Pro-actively seek natural light. To boost your energy and productivity over the Autumn and Winter months, try to consciously action these tips as often as you can:

Get as much natural light when you wake up – eat breakfast by a window, take a morning walk, sit on a window seat on your way to work.

When working, sit as close to a window as possible.

If your office is dark, use mirrors to create more natural light in your space to avoid using artificial lighting (for instance choose a desk lamp instead of over-head lighting) and pull back your curtains or blinds as much as possible.

Schedule time to take regular breaks outside, or at least one 15 minute walk in daylight.

Focus on getting a better quality of sleep – avoid exposure to artificial lights and screens near your bedtime as this tricks your body and circadian rhythm that it’s still daytime.

Additionally, try a ‘SAD’ clock in your bedroom to support your circadian rhythms – it works to gradually light up your morning and turns lights low as you get ready for bed, re-enforcing your ideal cycle.
