10 ways to optimise your body clock for peak energy, health and longevity:

1. Rise with the sun.

Your cells have internal clocks that sync with natural light.

Ditch the jarring alarm - let light be your natural wake signal.

I know this is optimal, and you’re a researcher, so it makes sense to publish the “perfect scenario”, but in reality, how many people have jobs that allow them to sleep until after sunrise? I don’t know anyone who does. 1/x

When your advice starts with “sleep until after sunrise and then go outside into the sun for 30 minutes”

I fear that the rest of the message gets lost because these things aren’t possible for most of us, and there’s tons of great additional advice that comes later (regular patterns, darkness, cold room, etc.). 3/3

True - and a good point for me to work on with future threads, to start with the more achievable changes to ensure the message isn’t lost. 🙏

I know what you mean and yes, this is all in an ‘optimal’ situation. Ideally, it would be waking up with the sunrise - ie allowing the natural light to wake you up.

Depending on the location, this might be feasible at certain times of the year for some.

2. Get outside within 30 mins of waking.

Morning sunlight sets your master body clock for the day.

Just a few minutes can improve your sleep tonight.

3. Morning movement beats evening exercise.

Early activity primes your metabolism for the day ahead.

Walk, stretch, or train - just make it morning.

4. No caffeine after midday - it lingers for 12 hours.

Caffeine blocks sleep pressure build-up in your brain.

Your future self will thank you at bedtime.

5. Your body clock runs on light signals.

Daylight exposure regulates your energy, hunger and mood hormones.

Nature's medicine is free - get outside regularly.

6. Eat your meals within a 10-12 hour window.

Your digestive system has its own clock for optimal function.

First bite to last bite - timing matters more than perfect foods.
