Regular exposure to natural light after waking may improve sleep timing and support a more consistent sleep schedule, although the ideal duration depends on factors such as weather and light intensity. Dr Saraf also stresses that morning sunlight works best alongside healthy sleep habits, including consistent waking hours, limiting screens at night and avoiding excessive evening caffeine.
