By the time your alarm rang this morning your brain’s amazing auditory cortex and hypothalamus leapt into the new day with gusto. We often get miss miracles of the brain as we charge into another morning routine, and so we miss opportunities from its benefits.
Yet your brain prepared you for the day – even before the clock sounded time to get up. How so?
First – your auditory cortex gathers information about the sound. In the meantime your inner clock, sometimes called a circadian rhythm, let’s you know
the light is here and it’s time to rise.
The Hypothalmus adjusts your system by lowering your levels of the chemical melatonin, which help you to awaken more fully for the day ahead.
Why not work with your brain in these two ways -
1). Sleep in a very dark room to maintain higher levels of melatonin for ideal sleep.
2). Set the alarm at similar times daily to sustain your inner clock’s regular patterns.
How do you get the most from those early rise and shine moments?
