Your circadian rhythm is your sleep, wake, and eating cycle. This cycle balances out your hormones.
How do you fix this?
Do the following –
- Create a bedtime routine. Allow an hour of wind-down time before your go to bed as much as you can go to bed at the same time every night, ideally around 10.30 pm or before. Wake at the same time each morning. Avoid blue/white lighting after 9 pm. This disrupts the production of melatonin the hormone that helps you sleep.
- Eat your meals at the same time daily while sitting down in a calm environment. Try and eat between the hours of 8 am and 6 pm or eat during an 8 to 10-hour window. Don’t eat any less than 3 hrs before going to bed.
- Exercise at the same time every day.
- Go outside and get the light/sunlight into your eyes in the morning for about 10 minutes minimum this helps switch you on and keeps the circadian rhythm in sync.
- Try and get as much sunlight as you can throughout the day, midday, and sunset for 10 to 20 minutes.
- Avoid as much plastic as you can use plastic water bottles use glass bottles instead.
- Watch the chemical that you can avoid eg nail varnish, perfumes, creams, deodorants, and cleaning products. (use them up) then switch to natural ingredients products.
- If you feel cold limit the amount of cold and raw food, you eat
