Why you should replace the morning alarm with natural sunlight

We rarely question the first thing that happens to us each day — how we wake up. It seems small, almost irrelevant, but it holds incredible significance as it sets the tone of our day. Anadi Sharma, yoga trainer and alternative healing expert, said that most people don’t realise that the sound they wake up to is the first message their nervous system receives. And when it’s an alarm—loud, abrupt, artificial—that message is: panic now. “Every morning, the body gets trained to jolt, not rise. To brace, not breathe. We overlook this because it’s a common occurrence. But just because it’s normalized doesn’t mean it’s natural,” Sharma added. As such, according to her, switching out your regular alarm with natural sunlight is the best way to start the day. What happens to the body if you wake up...
