Start Your Winter Day Energetically: Light as the Key – Tips from Torsten Liem

In this insightful video, Torsten Liem provides valuable advice on how to start the day with energy and focus during the winter months. He emphasizes the crucial role of light, especially sunlight, which is often scarce during winter. He recommends spending time outdoors immediately after waking up in the morning – walking or jogging – and actively observing the sky. If this is not feasible, Liem advises using a daylight lamp with at least 10,000 lux for about 20 minutes daily. This practice helps reduce the production of the sleep hormone, leading to increased alertness and making it easier to fall asleep in the evening. Simultaneously, the production of serotonin, the happiness hormone, is stimulated. Liem stresses that normal indoor lighting of 300 to 500 lux is insufficient and presents these simple yet effective methods to enhance one’s well-being during the winter months. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qb-h0xxSn8
