Most people spend all their energy trying to fall asleep better. But by the time you're lying awake at night, you're already 20 steps behind.

In this episode of the Willpower Podcast, William (me) breaks down why the fix for bad sleep, low energy, and poor willpower actually starts the moment you wake up. The habit this week is simple. 10 minutes outside in natural sunlight within one hour of waking.

I covers the science behind your circadian rhythm, why your internal clock drifts without sunlight to reset it, and how one tiny morning habit can create a ripple effect through your entire day including your energy, focus, mood and sleep that night.

Plus I shares my own experience from never getting morning sunlight in high school in Minnesota to building this habit into his daily routine now.

This is episode 106 and part of a new series on building a high willpower life through easy, stackable actions. Last week was no food 3 hours before bed. This week we add morning sunlight. One brick at a time.
